For average people the global competitors are putting up near identical services at 1/10th the cost. Anthropic and Google and OpenAI may have a corporate sales advantage about their security and domestic alignment, or being 5% better at some specific task but the populace at large isn't going to cough up $25 for that difference. Beyond the first month or two of the novelty phase it's not apparent the average person is willing to pay for AI services at all.
