Open source part is just a thin layer of UI. Built to peddle their closed backend, which is built on others' open source work. Nice.
Anyone can replace the AI layer with their own local models, other services... whatever suits your use case and preferences is fair game.

Internet creators are not "everyone". 99% of people aren't going to waste their time setting up ComfyUI instances and screwing with github nodes.
As I said, which you haven't disputed, Midjourney's revenue is orders of magnitudes more than any of these tools.

Topaz Labs isnt' video generation, it's used for upscaling videos. How in gods name is that a comparable with Pika? What are you talking about?

You don't know.
Midjourney might have tons of revenue for being the first mover, but they're busy building VR headsets and generative world models for their metaverse thing.
Meanwhile everyone who is using these models for work - ie, making money with these tools - is clamoring for local execution and deep controllability. Midjourney won't give them that.
The top AI studios are all building on Comfy.
Don't write off Topaz, either. It's the last stage in the pipeline for everyone's workflow.

Fal wants to sell compute, and since they're straggling behind the compute-as-an-API leaders they've attached their cart to the art, image, and video subset of the market. They think they've got a leg up on their model partners. That the foundation model companies will mostly become generic copies of one another, servants of the compute layer. There are so many foundation video models now, and they'll battle it out o…
But also makes sense. If you wanted e.g. music, you could either look at catalogue of what's out there or try to make your own. But if no one is making what tickles you and you yourself have no talent to make what you would like to listen, the AI comes to rescue.
