Yes. Except that cursor is running at a loss and so is the company running the LLM that they pass all the work on to.
It's not about the company. It's the investors that are making the profits. They dont care whether its making a profit or not, as long as they are making a profit themselves.
OTOH OpenAI is not on the public stock market, so current investors can't really sell their shares and there's no way they actually raise the valuation it has.
