If this is true this presents a huge opportunity for google. History has shown that this closed/protectionist business model that Microsoft started a few years back and only seems to be getting worse eventually leads to them being left behind.

ChatGPT is not something they developed and the more it strays from Open-AI the more good people they lose. Having also a CEO who has only ever know Microsoft will eventually catch them out. Not saying they are not successful now just that the closed minded arrogance are warning signs to come.
