Removing open source code from the Internet just isn't possible
Unfortunately, it's possible if the project is small. Also, even if it's big, people will be left with clones in different states and of different times, and it will require some coordination to put everything in order again.
So to sum up, people will be forced to waste time, which also may be the goal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is if everyone's too scared of getting sued to host it publically
