I'm not sure what AI companies have to do with it. Open weight models are available and work great, literally today kimi K3.1 pro was announced and goes toe to toe with closed models. You are tying AI usage to bigAI and that is unfounded.

Using an open weight model turns no control over to an AI company, even if that model was created by some AI company.
