If I’m the plugin supplier and OpenAI tells me they are going to impose limits to a group of <15 testers that I’ve cleared (all of whom are either internal or under contract), and then I’ve got to deal with external users using the unreleased plugin and causing fallout, I’m going to blame OpenAI for lying to me.
(Of course, to be fair, the basic model OpenAI uses creates exposure that doesn't even go through OpenAI, which would worry me from the start, and really dedicated API users could just implement ReAct and their own actions against any API, but that's higher effort and not particularly facilitated by OpenAI.)
So, without any information, you assume that _every_ plugin ever put out is there, rather than the ones that were publicly published, and go on and build your very own strawman. No possibility of the being internal testing tracks, or of having no testing tracks and OpenAI just telling you to handle it on your own for testing (by not publishing it, for example)

No, we know that the unlisted ones that are accessible are the ones that weren’t supposed to be publicly published that are in limited testing.

I mean, no, because OpenAI publishes what the testing setup is, so we know that the case isn’t “no testing tracks and OpenAI just telling you to handle it on your own for testing (by not publishing it)”.
And its not clear how you could test it without using the OpenAI published approach; since we don’t know whether OpenAI tunes on the information, or references it in the hidden prompt somehow. Only in that latter case could an external party even in theory test before exposing the plugin, and that would require detailed information that OpenAI hasn’t provided in its developer information.
