I think this is a valid point.  I am interested in hooks to read
modules from a file archive.  If you are a developer, it is
necessary to turn this hook OFF, so that you can revert to the
usual directory tree where your current source is.

I am solving this by leaving a global variable "Importer" in
sitecustomize, and calling sitecustomize.Importer.enable(0).
This works, but it might be useful if imputil could de-install
a hook as well as install it.
