A key difference is that a company is making a proprietary paid product out of the learnings from your code. This has nothing to do with open source.

If the data could only used by other open source projects, e.g. open source AI models, I don't think anyone would complain.

You could argue "well, but anyone can use the code on Github" and while that's technically true, it's obvious that with both Github and OpenAI being owned by Microsoft, OpenAI gets a huge competitive advantage due to internal partnerships.

Imagine if folks got royalties on commits, or the language model was required to be open as well.
