Lots of people say nice things and have good intentions, but if they've let someone else get root access to their OS and install a different epistemological rootkit, it kinda doesn't matter what they say their intentions are.

You might say this is not respecting their agency, but neither was the operator of whatever botnet they ended up a part of.
