Perfect example was the youtube-dl. Making an app to download videos from YouTube is relatively trivial for most semi-experienced developers but that doesn't mean I want to invest the time doing it, plus the effort of keeping it up to date every time YouTube changes something. So youtube-dl is enabling me and less technical people to download content from YouTube, and it's "going away" for a short time caused an outcry.

So there's a difference between "this is possible" and "this is a tool that makes it really easy"

Depends on what you mean by missile. One worth dozens of millions of USD and produced largely to prop-up a state economy tends to have different ethical considerations versus an adhoc assemblage of propane tanks and plumbing pipes produced to fight over the neighbourhood in which it was made.
