OpenAI doesn't have to make money right away. They can lose a small bit of money per API request in exchange for market share (preventing others from disrupting them).
Maybe I'm just old but back in my day this would be called "dumping" or "anti-competitive" or "market distortion" or "unfair competition". Now it's just the standard way of doing things.
