Technology has dual uses. Kitchen knives can be used to kill people, so should they never have been invented?
You can take this line of reasoning very, very far. Some people think we never should have left our hunter-gatherer lifestyle. To these people, the agricultural revolution was a disaster and things have only gotten worse from there.
It's a tremendously ignorant viewpoint IMO, but it's where you land if you believe technology with the potential for bad use shouldn't exist in general.
