This is missing an important nuance. The valuable data generated through coding copilots isn't the code, but the step by step human-AI interaction to produce the code.
Windsurf and Cursor are effectively crowdsourced data annotation farms which give their owners an edge in providing better coding models. I think this is way more important than talent or software in this deal.
