Using viruses as a gene delivery system is nothing new. Adenovirus, Lentivirus and adeno-associated viral vector systems are commonly used in research and have been tested/explored for clinical applications such as alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency and other genetic disorders. So there is an argument to be made for the value of such research.
The problem is if a virus gets out, it can, you know, kill millions of people. So there is an argument to be made against that type of research.

Fairly robust argument can be made that viral-based research has killed more people than it’ll save in 100 years.

When done properly, the virus is replication incompetent. You park part of its genome in multiple plasmids. So a cell line can make a virion, but once it infects a cell, it can't reproduce itself.
Obviously, that was not done here.
