Mobile games are expected to be able to glean some profit from players; if someone makes something that allows them to sidestep imposed limitations... yeah, that's gonna cause trouble. This is ignoring the problems with tampering with licensed code.
Long story short, this is yet another case of "don't mess with stuff that isn't yours". |

Something similar was actually done when federal investigators uncovered the identities of Lulz Security, albeit without submachine guns (but they were still armed). |
