When Apps in GPT launched, Sam Altman did an interview on Stratechery.

He said something along the lines of "We could have done the Zillow features ourselves… but we wanted to do something benevolent to help out 3P companies."

Spoken like a true aggregator.

That shows that he doesn't understand the value of ecosystems at all.

"We will simply do it all, it is just because we are benevolent and gracious that we allow others to exist in our garden."
