Uber is also more or less a monopoly in many place. They took over the taxi industry and now drivers make less money than before.
OpenAI has multiple competitors, who all build their LLMs for less money.

And unlike taxi drivers / companies, these competitors have much deeper pockets.
It is not hard to imagine Google being able to outlast OpenAI for a decade and it is hard to imagine OpenAI being able to survive for more than another couple of years given that.
Yes but AI is a far bigger market and more profitable* than taxis.
*If AI is just SaaS/online ads in a different form.
