Correct, since the competitive edge is in the domain-specific data (which OpenAI, at-least on-paper, shouldn't have access to).

Two things to remember:

1. OpenAI can analyze which "wrappers" or "apps" are most successful, and make better purchasing decisions that way. This is information which isn't available outside of OpenAI.

2. OpenAI can in theory analyze the actual queries and interactions in an organization, record them, analyze, etc - in an attempt to get a hold of the organization's internal data. Unclear on the legality of this, but could perhaps be enforced through a draconic license.
