And who actually makes that much? Or are you counting also VC money into that "profit"?

And pretty much most of them just resell OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Meta's APIs and model access, with something repackaged on top. And none is remotely profitable.

And which use case will that make sense then for? Esp. when they aren't even sure whether they will commit to offering this long term? Who would be insane enough to build a product…

Costs money (travel) and time (company's) plus a lot of this is outsourced to agencies to do the screening. Yes, it is disgusting. Sadly also very common.

Except that 99% of engineers aren't being hired by Google nor being paid on comparable levels. So why is Google relevant to this in any way?

This zinger I have to remember for the next time someone tries this whiteboard BS on me!

Web scraping through a proxy to hide your own address is a shady business, by definition. So the "doesn't harm other people" bit is an oxymoron, IMO.
