Maybe for the time being. I don't see how else they monetize the incredible amount the spent on the models without forcing people to lock into models or benefits or something else. It's not going to stay like this I can assure yo

Better question why do we spend so many global resources on such a useless metric for humanity in its current life? When would you ever need to be so fast at 100m that you over train your body for one specific task?
