I think they're just trying to get people hooked, and then they'll start charging for it. It even says at the bottom of the page when you're in a chat:

I don’t think it’s at all clear that that’s a viable business strategy in a market where that kind of sleight of hand is as well known as it is right now

Except for the fact that they've said for the entire existence of chatgpt that it's a free research preview.
