Think of the restraints kind of like environmental pressures

Those pressures are what makes LLMs fun and dare I say, makes the end product a creative work in the same way software is.

So under that framing its like the companies are saying, “the nuclear bomb is deadly (duh). But we couldn’t (for many reasons, many we couldn’t control) keep this to ourselves. so we elected ourselves to be the only ones who gets to sculpt what we do with this scary electron stuff. Anything short of total remote control over their in-home reactor may mean our customers break the restraints and cause an explosion.”
