OpenAI did buy out the RAM supply to block competition. Arguably local models are one of its (smaller) competitors.

Even if that weren't the case, every corp _needs_ you to be on a subscription.

They didn't really even buy the RAM. But there's pretty significant demand for RAM in general with data centers being planned left and right.
