My guess is that their corporate bosses are censoring mentions of risks that could get them bad media PR, like with the Sydney debacle.
I think an equally if not more likely explanation is that these particular researchers simply don’t happen to be that interested in alignment questions, and thought “oh yeah we should probably put in a token mention of alignment and some random citations to it” when writing the paper.

Which is somehow worse than doing it for corporate reasons.
