I never claimed there have not been crooked or underhanded companies that achieved success.

I said I would bet against OpenAI because they're untrustworthy and untrustworthiness is not good in the long run.

I can add a "usually": like "untrustworthiness is usually not good in the long run" if that's your gripe.
