If they didn't exist then sure the information wouldn't be so easy available to Tom, Dick or Harry but it would still be out there. Ranting about tools that simply process your freely available link data seems pointless, no doubt there are many in-house solutions doing similar and by removing the public ones you're just raising the bar a little but they will still exist, you should get used to that!
