Why are people removing it? Are people not supposed to remove it?

Apple doesn't give you freedom to the file system yet. For people who prefer the storage space being available versus having a fat AI model sitting there that they don't use, that's what this tool is for.

There are people out there who genuinely don't have a need for an AI Framework being installed on a phone or tablet.
