Your lockpick example only works if there's e.g. only one and it's feasible to keep it hidden from the world.

Software doesn't work that way. I agree that you should be responsible about dangerous tech, but you also have to be realistic about what the best way to do that is, which is pretty much never "keep it hidden."

(and, of course, this is not even considering the question that should probably go here which is -- how dangerous is this exactly? Given the moral panic we saw a while ago about e.g. Photoshop, I'm not entirely convinced that this is much to worry about.)
