is that the direction we're going in right now? Or are we moving towards techno feudalism?

  More anarchy than the feudalism for the moment. The main Stable Diffusion models themselves are licensed under Creative ML OpenRAIL-M, and freely available third-party models exist; OpenAI gets stick for not making their models downloadable (at least GPT-x does, though nobody seems to care too much about them keeping the DALL•E 2/3 models private), other players are making and distributing other LLMs of varying quality. That said, we do also have actual reasons to be concerned about this remaining anarchic (though a lot of people very loudly scoff at them), so who knows what the future will bring on that axis.
