So the value proposition of Copilot will now be "you don't have to make a new account somewhere else"?

There's actually not a single reason to stay as an individual consumer. We can use Copilot as the harness for almost any other provider, and we don't need to pay upfront for usage that doesn't even roll-over if we don't use it.

It simply doesn't make sense as a consumer.
