Oh look it was too powerful to release, now it’s just a matter of safeguards.

This story sounds a lot like GPT2.

The original blog post for Mythos did lay out this safeguard testing strategy as part of their plan.
This seems needlessly cynical. I don't think they said they never planned to release it.

They seemed to make it clear that they expect other labs to reach that level sooner or later, and they're just holding it off until they've helped patch enough vulnerabilities.

My guess is that it is just too expensive to make generally available. Sounds similar to ChatGPT 4.5 which was too expensive to be practical.
It's too powerful now. Once GPT6 is released it will suddenly, magically, become not too powerful to release.
For a second there I read that as 'GTA 6', and that got me thinking maybe the reason GTA 6 hasn't come out all of these years is because of how dangerous and powerful it's going to be.
productivity going right back down again, ah well they weren't going to pay us more anyway
Or, you know, they will have improved the safe guards
Sure thing.
