Yea as a sibling indicated, the obvious better middle ground is the exploit just not existing any more. If the exploit were in the protocol itself then that might not have been viable, but the facts of the case suggest it's an implementation level exploit, in which case the FBI choosing to hoard it actually does increase the chance of more people (even outside of the American intel community) gaining access to the exploit.
