The (Open)AI example was to illustrate the fact that companies can lie about their long-term plans or just change them whenever. They routinely do. And everybody who believed yesteryear's mission statement will then wind up feeling pretty stupid.

I'm considering Kagi a strategic ally in the fight against big tech right now.

It isn't a big tech company (yet). They don't have much of a moat either. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, they will be absolutely dependent on aligning their behaviour with their customer's interests, lest they lose them and go out of business.
