Work into performant vector search is an active area of research. If it were such a commodity, there wouldn’t be such a wide variance in performance among existing solutions.

There are a ton of open questions. If you think about Elasticsearch as a similar domain, you have complexity at the ingest, storage, and horizontal scalability layer. If you think places are going to invest in their own distributed system that handles these components, I think you’d be as wrong as saying that people will invest in their own managed Lucene implementations.
