They were in danger because the Crew-8 escape plan exposed them to elevated risk on descent without proper seating or suits that could be connected to the capsule. A loss of pressure would kill them.
You’re not rescuing someone from a danger that was already there and part of the mission. Them being “stuck” for a few more months doesn’t make them “in danger”
If they weren’t up there now two different astronauts would be up instead of them. And it would be part of a regular mission. Those would not need to be “rescued”
