I don’t think it’s discount rate (esp given short timelines); I think it’s more that people haven’t really thought about why their p(doom|ASI) is low. But people seem remarkably resistant to actually tackle the cruxes of the object level arguments, or fully extrapolate the implications of what they do agree on. When they do, they invariably come up short.
