    Only works if they get their competitors "regulated" so other models can't offer unrestricted features for a lower price.

    Only works if local models cannot do it.

    They don't need to worry about whether local models can do it. All they have to do is make difficult or remove the power to run a local model in the first place. By, for example, taking your RAM and putting it in a datacenter.
