If anything, it shows that Kayaba has a good enough understanding of the human psyche to manipulate them.

Uh, no. Them escaping is not a threat. He's the one who gave them an escape route, after all. If he didn't want them to escape he could have just not added that rule. Or, if he wanted them to be motivated in the same way, just lied about it. In the end though, he kept his promise and freed them after losing as the final boss. And, well, he made the promise to Kirito in the first place. All evidence points directly towards "them escaping is not a threat to him". It's just part of the story he wanted to tell, in the world he created to tell it.
