The "why would they make this" people don't understand how important this type of research is. It's important to show what's possible so that we can be ready for it. There are many bad actors already pursuing similar tools if they don't have them already. The worst case is being blindsided by something not seen before.
I hope they also figure a way to find the bad actors who might use their tools for harmful purposes. You can't just create something for "research" purposes like this and not find a way to stop bad actors using these for harmful purposes.
