Quite the opposite, it seems to me, but what you consider “misuse” and “harm” depends on what you value, I suppose.
Maybe we should pick the States we want to be in control, before the States pick for us....

If we passively let whoever steals the most tech come out as the winner, we might end up with some unpleasant selection effects.
