Couldn't agree with you more - the less we emit, the less critical the need for carbon removal technologies becomes.

We have two levers for reversing climate change: the first is reducing emissions, and the second is remove carbon from the atmosphere. Most of the pathways in the most recent UN climate report incorporate some amount of carbon removal to maintain global temperature rise below 1.5°C [1].

Humans have been hard at work for a while on our first lever, and we need many shots on goal with the second lever to give ourselves a chance at success.
