True, but we are talking hypothetically about things being legal and whether that makes them OK.
So if a brothel was legal, would you be happy to have one next door?
And, in fact, the moral cost of prostitution (i.e. the "harm") is likely to be less when taking place in a Brothel, than for a street-walker. Yet the law says otherwise.
We really shouldn't take our moral cues from statute.
