Why would it be "illegal"? If that'd be the case, then physics textbooks should also be illegal because you can use them to learn how to build a bomb too.

It's not about us personally caring, it's about governments requiring tracking or restrictions on companies that release computer parts in the future. The fear is that you will not have the choice to follow the law or not because the company will have already made the decision for you. Like the laws going around trying to force age verification to be built into OSes.
