It was quite clear from the start that Apple needs to catch up in this industry and is ramping up an AI-marketplace on its platforms which gives them first-refusal rights for every AI-task, and ONLY THEN allows the user to select a third party to complete it.
So Apple can profit with Revenue Share from 3rd party achievements until they can do it themselves and simply don't provide the task routing-option anymore.
