Just like Blackberry, but instead of having to buy an new device to switch to the competition, the customer just needs to click on a different website.

Not a great analogy. Blackberry was never really for mass consumers and was always business-first. They lost to Apple because Apple won the mass market, and the mass market overwhelmed the specific niche business use-case that was BB.
OpenAI is already the consumer-first AI platform. And, in my opinion, in the minds of the average consumer, the biggest one that is "an app" with memory and folders, vs. something like Gemini which is perceived as an extension of Google Search and thus doesn't have the same "knowledge database" UI.
