They could do a lot of good if they went public, without the limitations of Espers, but a lot of their sins and questionable practices would come to light as a result, including WWIII, and with the good comes the bad.

It's the reason Magic is a backdoor in the first place.

Fair enough, I've got nothing else to add.
