It means no one copied the bytecode of the game and uploaded it to the internet.

Turn OFF overdraft 'protection'. It protects the bank, not you.

I see two possibilities for why this may not be:
Those thrusters may be necessary for collision avoidance during the deorbit phase. (to prevent hitting in-service satellites)
The thrusters are used and depleted to keep the satellites in orbit - and thus in service - as long as possible.
Adding a parachute like this may help increase drag and can be deployed with little additional cost/mass.
