In any case not every "AI" model and application needs to pass Turing-test levels of language sophistry. While you are right that (large) corporate interests are (and will be) the main actors here, I would not underestimate "noise traders" and other useful fools. With AI mania reaching apoplectic levels there is a wide population of actors that want to somehow get into the game. The availability of open source AI models is an enabler in this respect, which may explain also the "leakage". Incidentally this issue is something the open source community needs to internalize and have a very clear position about.
