That is true now, but maybe once the probes go completely dead with no chance of revival and there is no risk of tampering?

NASA have a history of reusing bits and pieces when they develop new vehicles and systems. If someone learns how to control Voyager there may not be much left to figure out if they want to control New Horizons etc.

That is a fair call. If that is the case, robably best to just leave it.
