> While no-one has reported physical harm as a consequence of GTP to date – GTP could, in principle, endanger someone

This is a classic of how to write a moral panic article. It's fun to talk about GTP, but in order to be news it has to be made into a big threat so it can tie into pre-existing prejudices like "my kids are spending too much time playing video games".

(speaking as someone who had to consciously stop playing Factorio as it was affecting my sleep!)
