IBM hasn't made a product that works since Db2 so I am fairly confident this is a flaming pile of garbage.

No, you are wrong. IBMer here. I was at first agains it, my background is for 2 decades startup(s) before I joined IBM, and I started slowly using IBM Bob and I must say it is really good and helping. With many integrations that works :)

lol, I've used it and Bob is a dumpster fire.

I believe it sends to various models in the background, So largely a harness / framework. Ibm does have its own model which is one of the options for Bob to use. (Note, I'm an IBMer but nowhere near this so my comment is strictly from my public knowledge/awareness:).

so it routes to actual AI companies and IBM adds additional cost on top. what a business model.

and hides from you what models it's actually using

I suspect their enterprise computer business creates more revenue than printers.

They're the 2nd biggest PC manufacturer in the world. Sell more computers than Dell, Apple, etc.

Only beaten by Lenovo.

What is good about it then? What model do you use? Which integration are we talking about? Is it open source? How much the "transparent pricing" "bobcoin" is worth?
