If you're competent enough to manage your digital security, you're fine (99% of the population isn't). If you're not, you're endangering the society you live in (by providing attackers with a device they can use). That's one way of looking at it.
You can't nicely ask the hacker not to do it. The hackers are constantly scanning the internet regardless of what you want.
Same goes for most Governments though.
