Who's saying such things?
The money behind LLM tech at this point is mostly institutional, Blackrock, Pimco etc. Not subsidies

With respect, this entire LLM phenomenon is a Gold Rush.
Yes, you're right, under one definition of cost. Yet marginal serving cost (GPUs, power, datacenter rent per token served). Here price is probably well above cost.
