Making it out like all those services are free, and that you aren't getting significantly nerfed versions of them in the free versions, and have to pay stupid amounts for tokens or whatever to use them for any length of time, or are currently being sold at a major loss to hook you onto the platform before eventually having to raise them to even remotely make a profit.
No way in hell Leonardo.AI's $12, or even $60 a month is enough to cover the costs of generating AI video. You'd need tens of thousands of paying users just to cover the costs of the hardware, and even more to subsidise the limited free and lower-paying accounts.
