Because the only way you could weaponize a bacteriophage is by deciding you want to kill one specific bacteria strain in a person.
You could make a bacteriophage to target my favourite brewers yeast, but selecting a single strain of ecoli in my gut wouldn’t harm me any more than eating a giant bowl of extra-extra-spicy salsa.
They don’t have the same mechanisms as other viruses. They physically cannot harm eukaryotes.
So you understand what a bacteriophage is? You’re effectively arguing that they are going to weaponize string cheese just because “That’s what they do.” The entire premise is nonsense, unless you have no idea what a bacteriophage is, or how it works.

Again. At this interval, they’re not a threat per se. But this development isn’t going to stop at this interval.
