Owning their own weights can be too complex for most businesses. There needs to be a service where companies can bring their workloads to and get back a task-specific model built on their data, tuned to their tasks, running on infrastructure they control. This would provide the benefits of owning their own weights without having to maintain their own models. It would also allow them to continually build and fine-tune the weights and improve their models.
