The realized P&L for OpenRouter doesn't come from just tracking model growth; it comes from actual user adoption and service fees.
Just because someone observed an increase from 63 to 668 models doesn't mean that observation directly informed OpenRouter's business strategy or caused them to add those models.
If I track the daily price of Bitcoin, that data doesn't make my investment grow; my gains come from market movements and my own buying decisions, not the act of tracking itself.
