This is already happening.

On one hand, yes, when it comes to picking tools for new projects, LLM awareness of them is now a consideration in large companies.

And at the same time, those same companies are willing to spend time and effort to ensure that their own tooling is well-represented in the training sets for SOTA models. To the point where they work directly with the corresponding teams at OpenAI etc.

And yes, it does mean that the barrier to entry for new competitors is that much higher, especially when they don't have the resources to do the same.
