This here. The dirty not-at-all-a-secret is that NONE of it is profitable. It is all a money-burning, water-wasting, RAM-market-sucking black hole.
There is no road to profitability unless they somehow convince everyone to pay multiple thousands of dollars per year for subscriptions. At least that's what I keep hearing; evidence otherwise with real references, I'm open to consider.

Yep. I bet the reason they never actually closed the deal with Disney is that Disney discovered that shitty Sora CG cost more than their in house systems.
Or because of that recent ruling that you can't copyright AI generated images. If Disney can't copyright the videos Sora produces, then it's useless to them.
Sure, but I doubt RAM plays a big role in this.
