Conjecture
The strongest case a frontier lab gives for racing is defensive: build powerful aligned AI fast because only that can defend against other AI. That argument justifies building defensive capability, but says nothing about who should hold it, and a single lab racing to superintelligence makes the defender itself the concentration of power the defence is meant to prevent. Racing to build governed collective intelligence is a different race: what it builds is distributed, exitable and correctable by those it acts for, so the defence argument supports it without importing the concentration risk.
