I see what you mean. I meant more that they genuinely believe the tech is dangerous, not that they are necessarily doing the right thing.

If they genuinely believe the tech is dangerous, how would it be acting in "good faith" to keep developing it, prepping an IPO, etc.?
The entire essay is about stopping development until it can be made more safe, with specific ideas on how to do that.
The fact that he would suggest this despite preparing for an IPO is an even stronger signal that it's in good faith -- it would be much easier and lucrative for them to keep on going with business as usual.
