Well supposedly Mermaids is also advising recipients of a 97% chance of harm with any type of binding:

Before it offers to send a binder, Mermaids staff alert children to a study by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health - which found that 97 per cent of adult users experienced health impacts from binding including pain, rib fractures, changes to the spine, headaches, respiratory and skin infections and muscle wasting.

So I'm inclined to think this "harm reduction" cloak is a rationalization. They're on a mission that is more about themselves than it is about these kids.
