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.
On their own? No of course not. But since when have things that can be weaponized not been weaponized?

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