No performance degradation on training metrics except for the end user. At the end of the day users and website owners have completely orthogonal interests. Users want answers and content, website owners want attention so they can upsell/push ads. You can only serve one master.

How are you going to serve users if web site owners decide to wall their content? You can't ignore one side of the market.
You don't. You bypass them with crawlers and don't reveal your training data. And this is exactly why open source models can't surpass open weight models.

It is a fair point, but how strong of a point it is remains to be seen, some architectures are better than others, even with the same training data, so not impossible we could at one point see some innovative architectures beating current proprietary ones. It would probably be short-lived though, as the proprietary ones would obviously improve in their next release after that.
