Aside from the FOSS argument, I find this statement quite sad. How your creation might/could be used shouldn't be the main deciding factor whether you make it or not. Especially so if you mean well with it.
For example, knifes are useful for so many things. But it also enables a lot of crime. Should it not have been invented? Surely not.
Or imagine drawing a painting. One day you found out that it was used for money laundering. Should you not have drawn it?
Everything and anything can be used maliciously so that shouldn't be the reason to stop creating things. And if you take enough precautions to limit malicious usage, then perfect.
