> No company is going to pay e.g. $15/user/month for Jira when they can get the same thing for free - better even

It wouldn't be for free though, would it? People need to build and maintain it (and there's LLM cost associated with it too).

Let's say you are a 5 person start-up. It makes much more sense to pay $15/user/month for services like Jira, Slack, Email etc. then to build and maintain everything yourself.

For super large companies, it might make financial sense to build some of the tools in-house. But then again, that probably already made sense for LLMs were a thing. But there is more to it than just the pure financials (i.e. salary).
