To be honest there were several chatbots before ChatGPT, eg Galactica by Microsoft, and it had not seem so promising. Similarly, ChatGPT was originally released as more or less a fun little demo, and the absolute success was surprise for OpenAI as well .
They probably managed to hit certain UX threshold where people start to find the chatting valuable/interesting, but this was really an accidental discovery.
