Why would it not make sense to refrain from creating AGI? I would love to see an actual risk/benefit analysis done.

Some bad game theory. So we all have to try because another might, but if they do so it could literally end humanity?

Yes. You are also describing nuclear weapons, which are verifiable, and nearly every party that could, created them. I'm not saying it is good, I'm saying in an environment of distrust, that will be the result. It's not even a national decision. Multiple companies worldwide could pursue it. All it takes is one group believing they can contain it while they get rich and it's over.
