Seems to be a common rhetorical tactic to substitute untoward “downstream” effect with a system itself.
(“Because System X can be exploited for unwanted behavior Y, we need to condemn System X as much as we do behavior Y.”)
It is more just for everyone to be worse off than advantage to accrue to the already advantaged.
