That can all be true but the frontier models will still have a huge market. You're thinking of all tasks as a fixed pie. The top 1% of intelligence opens up a whole new pie, stuff nobody does today because it's too expensive: daily cancer scans instead of one every few years, asteroid mining missions that need ten thousand PhD-hours of planning, custom drugs designed for your specific tumor, a personal lawyer and doctor for every person on earth, auditing every line of code in every bank and hospital continuously and so on.
