Because we can get AI related technologies to do things living creatures can’t, like provably forget things. And when it benefits us, we should.

Personal opinion, but I think AGI is a good heuristic to build against but in the end we’ll pivot away. Sort of like how birds were a good heuristic for human flight, but modern planes don’t flap their wings and greatly exceed bird capabilities in many ways.

Attribution for every prediction and deletion seem like prime examples of things which would break the analogy of AI/AGI with something more economically and politically compelling/competitive.
