Isn't their AI plug-in already a paid additional plug-in in the store, like the others?

Yep, and that fact makes me hopeful. However, it's not unusual for other companies who are not Jetbrains to implement undocumented APIs for internal use only, while exposing a different set publicly. Or even to bake some part of the plugin functionality into the core product that a plugin mostly serves as a "key" to unlock.

I'm sure this would be quickly found by anyone decompiling the plugin or otherwise investigating how it works if they did so, though.

That makes sense. Good interpretation!
