This isn't a question of point of view considering the label applied to the
match. If it was a challenge by ChessBase (like Deep Blue) or random event then
there's room for points of view. Not here.

The problem is that Kramnik isn't asking. The owner of Kramnik's title is
asking, which is a difference. The difference between something private and
something official. The problem is that BGN is conducting an official event as
if it was private.

You can't. Noone said it had to be the strongest program vs. humans. That's a
fabrication or a point of view irrelevant of selection process.
