Your analogy makes a fundamentally different assumption - which is that you weren't already being physically assaulted or that your risk of being physically assaulted was truly negligible.
OP and creator assume that attempts at creating privacy online are always under active attack. The threat environment already exists. Publication of this tool does not meaningfully change the threat environment.
Some more analogous situations might be:
* Publicizing that police do not quickly respond to 911 calls for assault or break and entry in certain neighborhoods
* Selling lockpicks and publicizing how to pick standard tumbler locks
* Publicizing which bike locks can be cut with hand tools
The real fundamental disagreement is on the assumption of if your privacy is already under attack by competent actors.
