95 percent of the ChatGPT product basically sat in the OpenAI API developer dashboard for a year too and the market largely didn't notice. Even before chatGPT, you could converse with GPT3 just using the API dash in a browser in a very, very similar fashion to chatGPT.
I thought it interesting Sam Altman's comments that he kinda thought the market would just make chatGPT itself and OpenAI could just sit back having made the APIs available, but given the cost per query on a service that makes no revenue, personally I'm not all that shocked it took an internal product with large marketing spend etc to gain the exposure chatGPT has for their API services.
