Why do you view this as admirable? I view it similarly to creating a large cache of explosives and munitions and then giving them away for free. Sure a lot of people might have some fun with them on the weekend but the largest impact of this technology will be used against people, not for them.
With your line of reasoning, would you prefer a world where all the munitions were held by megavillains, or a world where both megavillains and regular people had access to the munitions?
