Claude had a lead for a few weeks. When Codex launched it was better and it has been (marginally, yes, but still) better since.

It's marketing

Having a lead in a new market even for a short time creates initial conditions that are in your favor. That’s why startups get all fired up over being first to market.

Sure, but OpenAI has caught up with such velocity (and frankly has the better models) such that it's kind of irrational to refuse it based on "vibes"

No, it wasn't and no one who used Codex and Claude since release could seriously make this claim. It was a magnitude behind Claude and only catched up recently
