when selectively breeding we can breed for traits which we are not guaranteed to actually get, and it takes a few decades (plus health metrics and research once complete).

Nobody will make you confirm your randomly bred variant is actually healthy, or even non-harmful, and you can sell it without publishing a thing.

Gmos go through far more rigorous testing requirements than new organisms created by traditional means. you've got it completely backwards.
