VESC safety issues → no PW?

I always thought that pairing_done flag in VESC Tool does not give any protection. If I remove following lines of code and compile VESC Tool, I can still connect and change settings, right?

          #ifdef HAS_BLUETOOTH
              if (mBleUart->isConnected()) {
                  if (params.isPaired && !hasPairedUuid(mUuidStr)) {
                      disconnectPort();
                      emitMessageDialog("Pairing",
                                        "This VESC is not paired to your local version of VESC Tool. You can either "
                                        "add the UUID to the pairing list manually, or connect over USB and set the app "
                                        "pairing flag to false for this VESC. Then you can pair to this version of VESC "
                                        "tool, or leave the VESC unpaired.",
                                        false, false);
                      return;
                  }
              }
          #endif
