#3The headline makes it sound like is not entirely ethical, and then I remember reading “Before OpenAI, Altman was asked to leave by his mentor [Paul Graham] at the prominent start-up incubator Y Combinator, part of a pattern of clashes that some attribute to his self-serving approach”[0]

#7It seems the big takeaway tech executives took from WeWork wasn't that it was wrong but that that self-dealing is okay as long as you have enough leverage to get away with it.
It's pretty clear now this is the reason that Altman got fired in the first place.

Why didn't the board say that explicitly?

That said, who knows at this moment more about the topic than Altman?
I say because the headline can induce to a wrong feeling, but, if was not a company related or close to the latest developments of AI, who are more ready than them?

#10This is a poor plagiarism of a much more detailed Wired article https://www.wired.com/story/openai-buy-ai-chips-startup-sam-... which is also much clearer than OP about what parts would raise concerns: Rain touting the Altman connection heavily despite its minimal results and apparent inability to convince anyone else to so much as write a letter of intent, and the highly unusual divestment orders suggesting some very unsavory connections, which get added to the big pile of other concerns about Altman.
