This logic could apply to any illegal trade.
Why do we make killers lives worse with criminalization of murder?
Because there are negative effects to individuals and societies at large.
Sex work is not the only way for people to support themselves, anymore than professional killers who can also find other means of work.

Well, no, because most illegal trades aren’t illegal to protect people voluntarily engaging in one side or the other of the trade. > Why do we make killers lives worse with criminalization of murder? No one argues for criminalization of murder to protect people who would be murderers if it was legal, but people do argue for criminalization of sex workers to protect people who would be sex workers from exploitive labor conditions (but tend to fail to have a narrative, when so doing, about how narrowing their options to include only options that they would, were legal sex work available, see as worse than legal sex work—including illegal sex work—does that.)
