> unless it's a platform with network effects and heavy lock in
I'm always slightly amused when buzzwords are thrown around vaguely such as "network effect" and "lock in". Those are not entirely a matter of a better sales pitch or bandwagoning. They're about the actual product.
> they will lose to thousands of tiny teams that outship them and beat them on cost
They won't, but this is the actual reason. Nobody likes dealing with support or maintenance, and having to reach out to tiny teams is death by a million papercuts for the end user too. The established players such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, etc. have a mature product that justifies the 7-figure contract price, and there are always lower tiers of the same product for those who are that price sensitive.
i'm talking about ubers, airbnbs, amazons, googles and facebooks of the world, marketplace software that aggregates supply and demand

you will have thousands of linear like products eating the slow moving jiras of the world. great small product driven teams, not slop thrown together by your mom
AI raises the ceiling much further than the floor and it raises the floor a ton. the best software, movies, etc will still be produced by experts in their field, they'll just be able to do way more for less.
the bottleneck at large orgs is communication already, this will get even worse when time to produce stuff goes way down. big cos will drown in slop and are probably better off starting from scratch
