Two reasons:
1) The AI core is far more robust at dealing with law uploaders
and
2) In the past there was a reliance on borgs to kill shit because other than a few robust methods (ttvs, chemistry, emagging the armory), this was a solid way of fucking with the crew. Now there's alot more methods of killing the crew, and alot more methods of dealing with borgs.
The versatility of borgs in killing was a point I was trying to fix in my borg effort-post that noah was working on. I felt it was too heavy handed in chemistry and construction, one creating firebombs or using the meatcube + ldm + locker trick (A certain someone abused the fuck out of this), while the other had an rcd (which if used correctly, can fuck over most people)
There's also the fact that the station is sprawling, and that limits the AI's control.
But as an AI you can be very effective if you use your borg shells. I use Securitrons, then deploy them with my PDA, then set everyone to arrest. Someone who corrupts the AI and does not put in any legwork for the AI (such as creating an extra module/robotics computer, dumping all reset modules, creating at least one borg shell, placing a fuel tank in its core) deserves to lose if the AI is reset or killed.
