If you allow threats within your system you are losing out on most of the value of trying to create an artificial utopia because you will recreate most of the bad dynamics of real history which ultimately revolve around threats of force in order to acquire resources. So, the ability to prevent entities from issuing threats that they then do not follow through on is crucial.
Improving the equilibria of a game is often about removing strategic options; in this case the goal is to remove the option of running what is essentially organized crime.
In the real world there are various mechanisms that prevent organized crime and protection rackets. If you threaten to use force on someone in exchange for resources, the mere threat of force is itself illegal at least within most countries and is punished by a loss of resources far greater than the threat could win.
People can still engage in various forms of protest that are mutually destructive of resources (AKA civil disobedience).
The ability to have civil disobedience without protection rackets does seem kind of crucial.
