Business serve the shareholders, in some countries it is even enshrined in law that they do so. Most companies couldn't care less about the customers seeing them as replacable. Customers will in most cases when given the choice between two providers will go for the cheaper one. If companies start using AI and don't pass on the savings to customers they will lose out to those that do.

It will probably be about 5 years away but AI will now do to other industries that automation did to manufacturing. So many careers that involve analysing and processing data are going to be at risk an it isn't only low paid jobs, eg solicitors, accountants, etc
