From what I understand, this thing started out as a chat filter that, for a lot of people, is really the only lasting solution to the RMT bot spam problem. The hunt marker just happens to be an additional feature of that program...

For that reason, I'd imagine SE going after people that actually use it would only result in a massive riot, considering the general perception in the community already thinks that SE isn't doing anything about the RMT problem as is. But should SE implement an official chat filter, nobody could argue that the program would have any legitimate use any longer.

(Although that would also likely lead to bots trying to find other ways to get past everyone's filters...)
