There's a lot of tools now with a similar feature set. IMO, the main value prop an official OpenAI client could provide would be to share ChatGPT's free tier vs. requiring an API key. They probably couldn't open-source it then, but it'd still be more valuable to me than the alternatives.

Coding agents use extreme numbers of tokens, you’d be getting rate limited effectively immediately.

A typical small-medium PR with Claude Code for me is ~$10-15 of API credits.

Exactly. Just like Michelin the tire company created Michelin star restaurants list to make people drive and use more tires
