> OpenAI definitely tarnished the name of GPT-5 by allowing these issues to occur

For a certain class of customer maybe that is true.

But the reality is that the fact that this occurs is very encouraging -- they are not micro-optimizing to solve cosmetic problems that serve no functional purpose. They are instead letting these phenomena serve as external benchmarks of a sort to evaluate how well the LLM can work on tasks that are outside of its training data, and outside of what one would expect the capabilities to be.
