LEA, Customs and intelligence agencies regularly use GDB to hack and extract information from an Android phone. So in that sense it may be a valid concern and reason to restrict this.

However, I'm pretty sure these entities will already have negotiated exemptions from the restrictions so in that sense they don't add much security.
