Another Occam's Razor option: OpenAI, the company known for taking a really good AI and putting so many bumpers on it that, at least for a while, it wouldn't help with much and lectured about safety if you so much as suggested that someone die in a story or something, may just not want us to see that it potentially has thoughts that aren't pure enough for our sensitive eyes.

It's ridiculous but if they can't filter the chain-of-thought at all then I am not too surprised they chose to hide it. We might get offended by it using logic to determine someone gets injured in a story or something.

All of their (and Anthropic's) safety lecturing is a thinly veiled manipulation to try and convince legislators to grant them a monopoly. Aside from optics, the main purpose is no doubt that people can't just dump the entire output and train open models on this process, nullifying their competitive advantage.
