It is extremely inaccurate to characterise the relationship between Bankman-Fried and Ellison as merely “dating”, and that people are merely saying that this was “improper”.
Bankman-Fried and Ellison were living together in a shared apartment. An unverified suggestion in one article suggests that Ellison may have been in some form of relationship with other residents of the apartment—residents who included the CTO and Director of Engineering of FTX.
If true, this is a genuinely alarming piece of information that would very obviously have caused anybody to question whether they should have placed their funds in the care of this specific group of people. However this information was not made public, and that lack of transparency is where the problem lies.
