As someone who's had his game ruined by critters walking around in armory/upload and then snitching about it to security, I concur. There was some major powergaming happening, and I'm not sure if removal was the only way, but it certainly was a necessary first step.
In all honesty, these critters should not have any more rights than regular non-crew critters. The real issue is that they have the power level of a critter, but they also have diplomatic immunity from being killed and the ability to communicate. If you were to allow people to kill them (even as non-antag), or strip them of their ability to speak, maybe there's a case to be made for having them be more publicly accessible.
