Yes. If ChatGPT-like products will be widely and commonly used in the future, it's much more valuable right now to try to acquire users and make their usage sticky (through habituation, memory, context/data, integrations, etc) than it is to monetize them fully right now.
I've also found GPT-4o to be subjectively less intelligent than GPT-4. The gap especially shows up when more complex reasoning is required, eg, on macroeconomic questions or other domains in the world where the interactions are important or where subtle aspects of the question or domain are important.
