The issue of credit is a relatively minor point in the declaration.

It's more about bypassing the culture and processes mathematicians have developed that lead to human understanding, generating new ideas, and bringing up new generations of mathematicians. (See also his article about "non-renewable mining" of good problems.)

Reducing mathematics to "let's just generate results through an isolated and automated system" is a misalignment since it bypasses those processes.
