Eh, just trying to avoid scrutiny.
Yeah the only change here is room for plausible deniability. There will still be regular meetings between the companies, just not in the "board room". As if that matters.
It's probably more likely that Microsoft wants out of the board so that it can be free to pursue acquisitions of OpenAI's competitors without a conflict of interest.
