The results are interesting for showing the efficacy of small, fine-tuned models that can be run locally. AI providers as a business need their do-all models to be better than these if they want long-term revenue through the APIs, right?

It depends on the provider and their goals. We have recently seen a schism between OpenAI and Anthropic, whereby Athropic is going all in on automation and programming and OpenAI is going all in for I guess a personal assistant / personal tasks AI.
They can sell fine tuned models running on cheaper hardware in bulk, too. Scale is a thing.
The car analogy is Tesla needs to make tractors to compete.
