Why not? The majority of these models are running on fairly ubiquitous datacenter GPUs. They're being trained on highly available hardware. You're right that there's a compute barrier, but you get around that by throwing money at the problem. If someone was sufficiently motivated, they could probably dethrone OpenAI in 2 months with enough funding.
