> Of course, because their revenue depends on it, they probably would want more control. I don't think this follows. They could have all the control they wanted if they set up their own product, but their revenue doesn't depend on control, their revenue depends on the product being good. It would take a lot of work to make your own Wikipedia-alike; it would take a lot of work to even start with the current Wikipedia (which they legally can, since its license permits commercial use) and keep it up to date. |

Yes, and what happens when the content of Wikipedia, through neglect, gets out of date or (negligently or maliciously) wrong? Imagine the following:
User: "Siri, who is the president of North Macedonia?"
Siri: "Macedonia is a geographic and administrative region of Greece, in the southern Balkans"
