Maybe I am not understanding something here.

But there are third party options availabe that to the very same thing (e.g. https://aider.chat/ ) which allow you to plug in a model (or even a combination thereof e.g. deepseek as architect and claude as code writer) of your choice.

Therefore the advantage of the model provider providing such a thing doesn't matter, no?

Aider is not agentic - it is interactive by design. Copilot agent mode and Cline would better comparisons.
