Misdirection. You're comparing the equivalent of small local retailers with a multinational mega-corps the scale of Amazon. Such projects are a rounding error in the wider market.
The "Usefulness" of this information is questionable at best, and wildly incorrect all too often. "Coding for us" is a double edged sword in that it makes an appealing shortcut, while also leaving us at extreme risk when it makes what is all too often a critical mistake we don't understand, a problem which will only get worse as we gradually forget how to code for ourselves. Also, it's not a "Caring AI Boyfriend" its a simulacrum of human interaction that does not care about anyone or anything. It's a Lovecraftian horror dressed up as a relationship. A perversion that treats humanity as a disease to be treated into remission.
