I think it's a step into a future of proper Model API. But it's just a small step. It reminds me of Apple's Foundation Models [1]

While many AI integrations are focused on text communication / chat style. A lot of software benefits from non-text interfaces.

I believe at some point OSes and browsers should provide an API to manage models so you'll have access to on-device/remote ones with a simplified interface for the app. Making something standardized that is cross-platform would be fantastic. It also needs to be on mobile devices, so the players that can easily make it happen are mostly Apple and Google. (Meta will follow or vice-versa I guess)

Key-point: it shouldn't be exclusive to promoted models.
