This is a purposefully naive take.

They're chasing whales. The 5-10% of customers who get addicted and spend beyond their means. Whales tend to make up 80%+ of revenue for systems that are reward based(sin tax activities like gambling, prostitution, loot boxes, drinking, drugs, etc).

OpenAI and Sam are very aware of who is using their system for what. They just don't care because $$$ first then forgiveness later.
