The difference is that this technology could be removed, and then it can't be abused. It still exists as a possibility as it always has, but it doesn't exist as an available exploit. If the code is not on people's devices, an abusive government cannot make use of it, and the user is therefore safe from this avenue. That is why it should be removed.
