Taking down a more public side to it (tornado.cash) has the effect of restraining the type of users that will now use it. Instead of privacy zealots (10%), money launderers (20%) and random users (70%) (numbers mostly pulled out of my ass for demonstration purposes), by making it only accessible to a much more select audience, you'll basically lose most of the random users. And believe me, if the US Treasury sanctioned it because 20% of the money going through was laundering (and the other 80% making it much harder to trace), when 66% of your traffic becomes money laundering, not only will they sanction harder, but they will also start going after actual people.
Touching the tornado cash contract is a poison pill right now.
