As in The Open Group: discrimination-free, as long as you're able to pay.

You can outright buy OpenAI; as long as you're able to pay. By that definition everything is open/accessible/available.
Right. I'm not defending their naming choice, just pointing out that "open = you need to be rich" is an ancient trope in computing:

Open Group was formed through the merger of Open Software Foundation (est. 1988) and X/Open (est. 1984), and they were all pay-to-play.
