They're already highly unprofitable, it's just a matter of how much the big execs of cloud companies (Nadella, Bezos, whoever runs GCP) actually stick to their commitment of "its better to waste money than miss out on the upsides". In that sense, there's surely a ceiling but we wont get to it unless the gains stop coming in from their millions in expenditure on training costs.
Or we could all agree its meh and move along from this trend.
