Reductio ad absurdum.

We don't ban bridges, but we do install suicide barriers, emergency phones, nets on the bridges. We practice safety engineering. A bunch of suicides on a bridge is a design flaw of that bridge, and civil engineers get held accountable to fix it.

Plus, a bridge doesn't talk to you. It doesn't use persuasive language, simulate empathy, or provide step-by-step instructions for how to jump off it to someone in crisis.
