It wasn't "inevitable", it took Red Hat and some other key players addressing the concerns the businesses and governments had, which took the better part of a decade. If LLMs as an ecosystem don't implode in the next year or so I imagine you'll start to see some big consultancies starting that same process for them.

Red Hat? I don't think they are involved in the moves to FOSS for government agencies, mostly because they're American, and the ones who are currently moving quickly (in the government world at least) are the ones who aren't American and what to get rid of their reliance on American infrastructure and software.

I haven't had a single need to visit the US, and I still have zero needs for it. If I need to read subway ads to understand how a company is connected to FOSS, I think I'll skip that and continue using and working with companies who make that clear up front :) Thanks for the offer though!
Right, but is "the States" currently trying to migrate away from US infrastructure and choosing FOSS to do so? That was the context I was entering this thread with, since most of the organizations moving to FOSS right now are doing so to move away from US infrastructure.
The whole context was how Red Hat was historically involved in addressing the concerns that were hindering government adoption. Are you just being intentionally obtuse to denigrate the US for some reason?
