So you are speculating this is all good and innocent while I'm speculating they hire this guy to aim their data harvesting in a way the government would want to pay tons for it... Yet your speculation is apparently more valid then mine because, checks notes, reasons

Yes, neither of us is responsible for hiring someone for the OpenAI board of directors, making anything we think speculation.

I suppose you could dismiss any thought or reasoning behind an argument for a belief as "reasons" to try to minimize them, but it's kind of a weak argument position. You might consider instead justifying your beliefs, or saying why you disagree instead of just "yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man".
