As a result, if you have an addon that is even slightly more complex than a simple addon, this so-called "backdoor scanner" will remove necessary lines of code, essentially rendering the addon useless. Therefore, I suggest that we consider an alternative approach to ensure that we are not inadvertently causing damage to other addons. 

if you spent 2 seconds actually looking through the code, you can see it doesn't remove any code at all. all it does is it scans through a folder looking for strings and tells you if it finds those strings. it's just automated checking, which is literally what a backdoor scanner is. Also a lot of legitimate functions and strings can be used for very malicious purposes like: concommand, table.concat, and sql.query
