Cool but is it just to youtuber's in early access or do the rest of us get it?
The former of course
Elon did mention in an earlier tweet the beta will widen if this release goes well, but I assume that means either more youtubers or maybe some early access folks.

I've lost track of what is what with Tesla's FSD development. It doesn't really matter though, as the end product is showing lots of promise.
Don't worry. Every release is a new beginning.
Could you make the argument that someone established enough to shell out $10,000 for a piece of software is responsible enough to handle the beta? Please Elon, wide release

As the saying goes, it's all about who you know. If Elon likes you Twitter, he can get you in:
Elon to Send FSD Beta to 28DelaysLater and others with Next Release

Several videos of people who own Teslas sitting in the back seat on the highway at 80 mph with nobody else in the car on AP1.0.
Stupid morons can have money and are more likely to spend it...so yes you could make the argument but it wouldn’t be a very good one.

No. Not that I know of.
I am sure being a responsible driver is an important factor. Tesla probably did pick owners with good safety records for the FSD Beta. But I don't think it is the only factor. It is also true that Tesla sent the FSD Beta to a lot of pro-Elon youtubers. In fact, we know Elon added some people to the FSD Beta simply because they are connected to prominent youtubers that Elon likes. So I don't think we can ignore the marketing aspect. Elon wants people who can promote the Tesla brand. FSD Beta is as much about promoting Tesla as it is about testing FSD.

While everyone should expect better hardware as time goes on, including the FSD computer with new chips and better camera sensors, etc...
Elon just today re-affirmed that the current sensor suite is capable of "360 degree, high fps video labeling, training and inference" (prediction)
I would suggest focusing on what is possible with hardware that we have in over a million cars on the road vs what will come out later.

Correction: Elon says HW4 chip is estimated to be 3x faster than the current HW3 chip, but my point regarding the resolution and/or FPS still stands.
Tesla is working on HW 4.0 self-driving chip with TSMC for mass production in Q4 2021, report says - Electrek

I found a video of FSD Beta 5 (2020.44.15.3) in action. At the end of the video, FSD is able to take him right up to the front doors of Walmart. I think that hints that "reverse summon" is close.

It's been doing that in many videos. It's just a matter of where they put the pin and whether the parking lot is mapped on Google.

From Kim’s vid on Twitter and Brandon’s tweets, it sounds like this new version is handling roundabouts better than ever.
