These frontier models are now good enough that they can assist heavily with new optimizations for future models, including, code them. Restricting their usage to a few companies takes away that advantage away from other companies, thereby, limiting new vendors from competing with OpenAI.
Do you have any sources for the claim that LLMs meaningfully help in the production of LLMs?

wait, are you saying a competitor needs access to an OpenAI model in order to build a competing model?
