How is it a subpar product? I've been very happy with GPT 5.4 and the Codex CLI tooling, as well as ChatGPT web. I'd say product is one of their strengths.

It's heavily subsidized.

I pay for it, but I don't think it's worth much more than the 20 bucks a month I have been paying.

Once they start charging something that makes sense, I doubt it will be as good.
