I don't follow. Meta has been the only US big dog that released open-whatever variants of their models. They did that intending to minimise the gap between them and other big dogs. Their stated goal is to give open access to the community, while at the same time develop the models for internal uses (on their many platforms).
Meta doesn't sell API access. They are not losing on "cheaper" anything. If anything, they get to implement whatever others release under open terms into their stacks. And they still have all the GPUs to further train and serve on whatever improved stack comes next.
I don't see how meta loses here. In fact I think it is one of the only big players in this space that will come out better.
