I would care about the censorship of game content if I were Bethesda. By giving them access to the Beta, it will affect their accounts, and so they would have to get the full product, and so Bethesda would be providing it to them for free. Giving them control of a preset character on a premade account would be detrimental to the point of a community Beta. So for the most effective Beta, 0.5% is enough, perhaps more than enough for collecting feedback. I'm sure that 0.5% is a lot of people; I would imagine well over a hundred testers.
