Your last point is exactly what seems to be going on with the most expensive models.

The labs use them to generate synthetic data to distill into cheaper models to offer to the public, but keep the larger and more expensive models to themselves to both protect against other labs copying from them and just because there isn't as much demand for the extra performance gains relative to doing it this way.
