What about the current safety/control attitude prevents that?

The current approach, where OpenAI keeps everything private in the name of safety only makes the safety situation worse because we'll only find out things like that are being done after the fact, and there won't be any accountability.

Are you suggesting OpenAI be forced to make everything public before they've figured out the safety systems, because you're afraid of the hypothetical unfolding if they don't? That sounds like a fear-driven response to me, and no way to propose good policy. Do correct me if I'm mischaracterizing.

No, I'm saying that their excuse that they're keeping things private because of safety is a farce and they should be honest and admit that they're keeping things private because they've abandoned the original mission behind putting 'Open' in 'OpenAI'.
