GPT-4 has little "lock-in" and isn't "good enough" the keep users via inertia.
You're not wrong, but most of the big players will take a while to switch, at least in my experience you have to put more effort into making sure your prompts result in what you want, and that's annoying especially if GPT4 is already working for you. Claude historically has really bad refusals for safe prompts.
Also, GPT4 is cheaper 10/30 $/m vs 15/75 $/m for claude 3 opus - I'm not sure that price hike is worth the _slight_ benchmark improvement.
They use it because it's better than any other publicly available model for most people.
If this is better, and people can access it, they'll use it instead of GPT-4.
People would already be using gemini ultra instead if they could access it, but google fucked the rollout out by telling everyone about it and then saying no one could play with it.

Sounds pretty good.
If OpenAI want to stay in the game, they need something more than offering 'GPT-TEAM, all the features you already had!' or 'We made this 3 years ago'.
Sora was really fantastic. No one has access.

Tell me this doesn't sound a littllllle bit more exciting than anything OpenAI has been releasing recently?
I look forward to their response... but I agree with sentiment that they better not sit around twiddling their thumbs; the world is moving fast.
