Of course people want the best model available, even at 10x costs, if they are not paying for it. If the company is paying, why wouldn't you want a 2% better model?

That changes as soon as the developer is the one paying for a model. Then it's a classical engineering trade-off between money and quality, and that's where open models are clear winners.
