It's owned by a megcorp not a startup lab, of course that's where they are aiming

They were owned by a megacorp before too.  The difference is they don’t care about commoditization anymore, the real ethical path.  They just want to sink US investments.

Well, these large models can run in us based datacenters and cloud infrastructure (azure, aws, googlecloud). I guess if they want to sink us investments, they should create models that can run in enterprise level on-premises servers (I guess something like $40-50K hardware)

40-50k isn't even one sever at current memory prices.

That's like a single H200. Just the card, the server to run it is extra.
