I guess it's fine if it's free or cheap. But why would I pay anywhere from $29-232 per month for what is basically a glorified web UI wrapping open source models? I can get the same or superior functionality for free from FOSS running on my local machine, including mobile devices.

Why would you? No idea. But there's obviously a huge market for slapping an easy-to-use interface + hosting onto something available for free.
