They are probably hoping to sell it for a lot eventually
Microsoft basically owns them. If anything they would be absorbed into Microsoft. The openAI brand is probably too valuable at this point to shelf it, they'll keep it as is. Just my guess.
They don't unless the board shakeup was bigger than I realise. OpenAI is a nonprofit, and could even shut down and destroy everything if they felt it advanced their mission. Microsoft could sue them, but would probably lose, because that's what the agreed to when they bought into the capped-profit subsidiary.
