There would be no need to remove it if there truly was no value to it.  
It is more then just about appeasement, as you seem to implicitly 
acknowledge the appeasement to the masses that feel there is something 
of value that needs to be protected.

Another way to approach the issue, do we protect content and not 
Lindens?  Lindens have no value (stated by TOS), just play money, so why 
bother to protect the amount, or currency, of lindens?  However, those 
contents that are supposedly being protected by appeasement is being 
traded by something of no value.  *scratches head*
