This makes no sense to me. There are innumerable reasons to reverse engineer software that have nothing to do with security, some not only not prohibited, but in fact specifically authorized by law.
It'd make more sense to reject reverse engineering commercial software on the grounds that it likely violates the software's license agreement, and would therefore subject the user to potential breach of contract and copyright claims.
But this would also apply to uploading pretty much any non-self authored document to the LLM in the first place, albeit with fair use as a possible defense after the fact, so it still doesn't make much sense.
