Do you not understand that they run the regular subscription at a huge loss? In exchange they require you to stick with Claude Code.
You are free to use the API.

Why can't they run the API at a huge loss too then??
Because if you do everything at a huge loss, you run out of runway very quickly.
I’m not saying this is a bubble; I don’t know whether than it is or not. But if it is a bubble, I’ve only seen one bubble this big in tech. When that bubble popped, the only companies that survived kept their costs in check. Some raised a round right before the bubble popped but cost control was always part or their survival.
To be honest the fact that they are already clamping down makes me think their situation is getting strained.
