This is one of the underreported parts of the AI bubble: Big tech companies that are showing increased revenue that correlates with their 'AI' capital spending are putting up the prices of everything that customers are locked into. This makes investors think that 'AI' is translating to more revenue per customer, but actually it's just 'putting up prices' translating to more revenue per customer. Lock in means that a lot of customers can't leave now, but you can bet that a lot are starting to plan their migration and there's going to be a big dip in revenue when they manage it.
