My thought is that you may be undervaluing the potential risks/consequences of all these new discoveries. While I agree that most recent discoveries are not made with ill intent, the current political, physical, social, etc. climate around the world reinforce the ideas that humans don't always plan ahead, listen to science/common sense, work together, and that there are many bad actors with bad motives that will use any means to achieve there goals (consequences be damned).
Given that reality, and how hard it still is for laws to even adapt the to internet, there's good reason (in my opinion) to be cautious and thoughtful about how new discoveries could be used and try to consider disincentives to limit bad actors.
It's a balancing act that no one person, agency, or country can get 100% right but the more we think together the more we can be prepared to integrate new discoveries to the benefit of all people.
