I wonder why they spent the time to do this.

They can't stop you reading/writing ram and executing code or it will
hurt compatibility.

Having a way to dump roms by sending code that copies rom into ram a
byte/page at a time and then reading from ram would probably be a good
idea, in case someone else tries anything similar.
