In that case though, why the lock-in? If the combination really does have better performance than competitors’ offerings, then Anthropic should encourage an open ecosystem, confident in winning the comparison.

I imagine they do not see it as a level playing field. If OpenCode can draw on Claude Code credits but cannot draw on Codex ones (we've just had a tweet promising to fix this, more or less), then it can be construed as an advantage on the part of OpenAI. Personally I think it's idiotic and companies should stop penny-pinching in situations where people are already paying $200, there can be no more value extraction at this price point.
