This feels to me like a marketing ploy to try to inflate the perceived importance and intelligence of Claude's models to laypeople, and a way to grab headlines like "Anthropic now allows models to end conversations they find threatening." It reminds me of how Sam Altman is always shouting about the dangers of AGI from the rooftops, as if OpenAI is mere weeks away from developing it.
