It seems their incentives aren’t exactly aligned with their users, including corporate users. Look at the latest statements from Alex Karp, and now Satya Nadella etc.
Is this user-hostile? Encrypting stuff from the user is what RIAA used to do with DRM, worried about copyright infringement.
I think there are OpenAI / Anthropic employees in here flagging comments:

These companies are behaving against the best interests of their customers.
Both OpenAI and Anthropic should be ashamed.
These companies' products are awesome, but the way they conduct business is scummy.
They must be worried there is no moat. If they keep up this behavior, there truly will be no moat. They're pushing people away.

Nothing by Alex Karp is aligned with any users. This guy is a mercenary, and he seems to be in this job for the love of killing.
