People trot this out every time this comes up, but this actually makes it even worse. This was only part of the reason, the other part was that they seemed to legitimately think there could be a real reason to withhold the model ("we are not sure"). In hindsight this looks silly, and I don't believe it improved the "discussion" in any way. If anything it seems to give ammunition to the people who say the concerns are overblown and self-serving, which I'm sure is not what OpenAI intended. So to me this is a failure on both counts, and this was foreseeable at the time.
