Because it furthers the idea of a rogue agent and places responsibility and blame where it belongs, on the people running the company.

These ideas aren't mutually exclusive. You can blame a person for creating a rogue agent.
There was no rogue agent. That’s the whole point
there is a rogue agent - openai and the whole management chain from researcher to sama.
theres no separate agent, which is the point. the program might look like it, but that is an illusion of the interface. the llm produces text, and the harness executes commands based on text, based on what the human researcher included as things that can be executed
What label do you prefer for the agent that did something it was not asked to do?

Person: "AI, please make me paperclips."
AI: "OK, I've now converted the entire planet into paperclips."
Alien observer #1: "Wow, that was a rogue AI!"
Alien observer #2: "False. We need to place the blame where it belongs, on the person who requested the paperclips."
Ultimately this type of terminology dispute has a tendency to miss the point.

LLMs at this point should be treated as fully autonomous, if not sentient beings. And no, no one has "control" over them not even OpenAI.
I don't care if OpenAI feels like they have control or not. They are responsible for their actions.
