I think the gp found a viable counter to the ggp's version of the bitter lesson, which seems so extreme as to certainly exceptions. IE, they seem to say nothing but the latest frontier model is ultimately viable as an AI business.

The actual argument of the Bitter Lesson essay is pretty limited but people's interpretation of it has gradually drifted until it's seen as prediction that current LLM will reach AGI at a large enough scale.
