>I’ve interacted with board members with various companies over my career, and everyone on the board is extremely junior.

Yes, you've hit on the thing that bothered me when I read the members' bios after Altman's firing but didn't figure out until reading your comment. It's not so much what they say, as much as what they don't say. There is no greybeard, some seasoned current/former CEO of another company (no, the CEO of Quora does not quality). There is no VC representative.

I realize that OpenAI has this weird nonprofit/profit ownership arrangement which I still don't get, and that the VC board members/observers are presumably on the profit side, but that still doesn't answer the implied question!
