If only there was a functioning FCC to investigate potential for foul play in marketing? Surely if any aspect of these episodes turned out to be mischaracterized, let alone staged, there should be consequences, no?

...why would this be an FCC issue?

"Any aspect"? No. (Is there a Betteridge's law for statements following "surely"? If not I'm calling it Rumack's Razor [1].)

And we have no evidence so far anything has been staged, much less to the detriment of telecommunications consumers.

It isn’t staged, and it isn’t marketing. It doesn’t reflect well on OpenAI and isn’t going to help their IPO. AI is more dangerous than we expected, sooner than we expected.
