Just because the admins can do (and have done) worse shouldn't make Crowd Control an acceptable measure by comparison. If anything, I'd say a black box algorithm dictated by the admins is worse than the preemptory auto-mod banning that goes on in a number of political subreddits. I have little confidence the admins won't eventually use it to police subs at a mass scale without the need of the moderator.
If admins wanted to disappear a viewpoint, it would be a lot easier to just autosuspend the accounts, or shadowban without a trace.
