It isn’t about halting the transaction. It’s about what happens when you want that USDT to be worth something when you need to spend it. Tether needs to know where each of their USDT tokens is. You break the law, they can invalidate your tokens. That’s how the system works.
Putting things on Bitcoin doesn’t magically make them un-censorable. Tether is still a centralized company and asset.
