Wouldn't it make them easier to he hunted by prey or just die from not being careful

People with dementia can end up getting themselves fatally injured so I don't see an octopus can't

So I don't see how it's beneficial to help them survive

It's not but, the evolutionary goal is compete.

There's no way for the octopus to pick a mate with out the side effect, so the lack of post-nut clarity continues through the generations.
