Poor analogy. Speech and ideas are constitutionally protected in the U.S; accommodations are not (well, other than quartering of soldiers).
A better analogy is that the government can prosecute people for doing the actions described in the Breaking Bad scene on money laundering [1], but they cannot prosecute the writers of Breaking Bad, the networks it's shown on, YouTube, or people who link to it.

The developers are free to write all the code they want. The issue is doing to the benefit of the Tornado Cash criminal enterprise.
