Despite the fact that it was available only till 22nd June I largely call it a marketing stunt. But the fact that government took extreme measures to contain the danger that model violation exposes I think this move reflects towards more broader issue of accessibility. As of my knowledge not just US but major leading countries have been keeping knowledge classified. Major example is defence sector which heavily keeps information under legal and penalizing guards. It is tough to identity the misusing entities of this assets they go into heavy licensing and red tapism. Maybe AI would also meet the same fate in coming future is what I sense from this move.

There is a lot of information out there that can make one person have a huge impact that used to be gated by the difficulty of acquiring the knowledge.

When it took years and years of training to learn how to master something enough to use it with great impact, that effort was strongly correlated with the discipline and lifestyle to not misuse those abilities.

Completely gate-free LLMs would have very "useful" answers to a nutjob prompting "How do I cause as much destruction as possible with only what I can find at the hardware store" or similar. Sophisticated guards are still very hard to do to avoid giving a whole lot of power to someone not very friendly and not very disciplined.
