I agree with the general premise of too much "safety", but this argument is invalid. Humans are bags of meat and they can do some pretty terrible things.
But what we're doing to these models is literally censoring what they're saying - not doing.
I don't think that anyone has any problems with stopping random AIs when they're doing crimes (or more realistically the humans making them do that) - but if you're going to make the comparison to humans in good faith, it'd be a person standing behind you, punishing you when you say something offensive.
