In reverse order,:
The original reason a change was made is irrelevant, the access is on the servers now, it's part of the culture and what's expected, it works, it's fun, and removing it will cause more problems than it fixes.
As for the first one:
"I agree that there are certain problems with the access levels, for example the access to borg interfaces, but that'd be better fixed by making changes elsewhere rather than simply nuking security access."
As was said before, it would be better to give antags more ways to escape rather than making a large scale change like this. Additionally, I don't really believe this is as large a scale problem as it's made out to be. In my experience it's not all that difficult to lose security in a chase so long as you vary your route. What makes security truly difficult to evade is when either the AI is assisting them, or the entirety of security swarms you at once. Not security having access to to many doors. And once again, both of those issues are better solved through other avenues. In fact, this change would likely encourage more Sec AIs, because they'll be asked to help anyway, and sec AIs can absolutely shut down antags, especially on RP where less is happening at once.
