This is the reason that people felt like Apple should be treated as a monopoly, though. The switching cost is high, and the benefits you lose are large. So people put up with it, in spite of being upset.

For an individual, no it is not. For a massive corporation that has a huge contract and has their entire workforce working on it? That’s not such an easy switch, especially depending on the tooling involved beyond just the core LLM.
