Just because something you do today is legal and not a cause for scrutiny does not mean the same will be true tomorrow.

We have seen this many times throughout history, where people like academics, researchers, teachers, people of particular faith, etc are targeted and each of them has some sort of “evidence” produced as to some sort of crime they have committed either in the present or past to justify their arrest.

The group who needs it today may be small, but having it on and secure by default for all is a far better protection than any justification that the current need is small.
