Everything gets used by bad actors. Internet, cars, roads, kitchen knives, bicycles, hoodies, … You still use these because they’re handy and useful. If criminal acitivity means to not use things, we’d use very little. I wouldn’t think too much about it.
All the low-frequency free stuff that has range is severely limited in bandwidth. It’s good for sending 100 characters at a time. More like text messaging.

With the way things are going anyone with a moral compass is going to be a “bad actor” before long.
