If you're a $100B+ entity, you let your lawyers do the talking in filings.

I think the court of public opinion also matters greatly to be honest, especially when you are responsible for a dangerous technology

And let's not forget the other side is in control of a propaganda bazooka, aka twitter, not addressing the public opinion would be suicidal for OAI.
