In a company (it may be complicated due to OpenAIs structure) the boards sole purpose is to represent all shareholders. If they don’t that’s usually asking for a SEC investigation or private law suit.

Yes, if we just ignore OpenAI's unusual structure it really simplifies the discussion, much like the joke about the physicist who starts by assuming a perfectly spherical cow.

No it only makes who the responsibility of the board is to - the non profits charter, the donors, or the shareholders. That decides if their decision was lawful, not their intent.
