FB does not have the flywheel of running data centres - all three of those mentioned run hyper scale datacentres that they can then juice by “investing” billions in AI companies who then turn around and put those billions as revenue in the investors

OpenAI takes money from MSFT and buys Azure services

Anthropic takes Amazon money and buys AWS services (as do many robotics etc)

I am fairly sure it’s not illegal but it’s definitely low quality revenue
