Lots of people have succeeded. Neither Anthropic nor OpenAI has any technical advantage in the field of subscription engineering.

Amazon and diapers.

Could you elaborate a bit? I'm not aware Amazon has a monopoly on retail, nor even online-shopping? Could you explain what you mean with the diapers?
