That's a lie people repeat because they want it to be true.
AI inference is currently profitable. AI R&D is the money pit.
Companies have to keep paying for R&D though, because the rate of improvement in AI is staggering - and who would buy inference from them over competition if they don't have a frontier model on offer? If OpenAI stopped R&D a year ago, open weights models would leave them in the dust already.
