Agreed, and the answer is pretty obvious as to how they start making profit. The answer is in this thread, CRANKING the cost up immensely once they establish agreements between the duopoly leaders in the field to do so in tandem and buy up any competition that seeks to challenge them.

I’m thinking 20x what the cost is now is where they’ll land. It’ll be a massive line item for software dev shops.

the problem now is how much can they hike the costs without people just going back to coding by hand.
