I don't think copilot makes you 10x more productive. Anyone who has used it can tell you that's nonsense. 30% more productive is way more realistic, but even 30% is clearly worth it from a financial point of view.
If you're a company the only reason you should have for not buying Copilot for all your employees is legal concerns, which are definitely still not resolved. Once they are though it's going to be pure masochism to not use Copilot (or similar).
Like not paying for CI, or not using Git, or not using an IDE. You can totally still do it but you're going to suffer compared to the competition.
Of course it does not, but people in finance do not understand engineering. And the C suite needs to make AI plans or wallstreet is going to punish them.
