It gets lumped under "safety", but I bet it is also due to perceived reputational damage. The powers that be at Google don't want it generating insecure code (or to look stupid in general), so it is super conservative. Either it ends up with people comparing it to ChatGPT and saying it generates worse code, or someone actually uses said code and moans when their side project gets hacked. I get the feeling they are touchy after Bard was soundly beaten by ChatGPT 4.
