> publishing code that can be used to do something is very different from running it and allowing people to use it

that difference is non-existent when code is published as a smart contract

A smart contract doesn't run on it's own, you still need computers to run it. Not to mention for Tornado cash, you also need people interacting with the contract and sending money to it, since it doesn't do anything on its own
It's run by the miners and users and disconnected from the people who published the code (who may also be miners and users, but needn't be)
