They fixed that separately in the same update. It would not have been an issue if they re-enabled the dialog now.

The concerns were around social engineering when using the dialog with a textbox input. Since it's a lesser-used feature, many players haven't seen it and could be tricked into giving information they shouldn't, not knowing it's from a third-party server plugin.
