IIRC some exchanges don’t make it clear you’re trading USDT, not USD. If Tether were to implode users might be able to sue the exchange to try to recover the USD value.

For that case, maybe, but I'm correcting parent post's presumption that trading in tethers necessarily imparts some huge risk onto the exchange.
