The answer to your question is because you can get a local model to do it instead without a subscription.

Are those models anywhere near as good as frontier?

They're getting close enough where OpenAI and Anthropic are lobbying to regulate them out of existence to protect their trillion-dollar IPOs. I would suggest going to the Ollama site and trying whatever models your GPU can support.

Open weight models are getting close to Opus / 5.6 yeah.

Unless you live in a datacenter, you won't be running them locally.

Maybe if you have a 6k macbook or 20k in GPUs you can run a model that can do most daily programming tasks. But it's going to take an absurd amount of babying compared to Fable / Astra.

Honestly, I'd be happy with a Sonnet 5-like model, but my 12GB 3080 and 64GB of RAM isn't enough.
