From a practical perspective, do you expect a company who has the potential for really really really powerful AI to stop because their AI is only really powerful?

Who cares? If a powerful company builds an AI, we have no control over what they do with it. It doesn't matter what FAI ideas we come up with. I only care about branches where "we" get to AI first, or some group that cares about AI risk.

What? There's all sorts of ways to influence what a company does. Would you agree that a large company or military building an AGI first is the most likely route to AGI?
