Absolutely. That's why I assess the bolts before using them.

By chopping bolts the choppers are making a safety decision for all those that follow.

And I am only referring to bolts for belays or abseiling here. Retro bolting routes is a whole different issue.

There are many abseil bolts that were not there 20+ years ago which make descending safer. Many of the trees we used to abseil off no longer exist. Not to mention some of the down climbs we used to do. So yes it is a safety issue.
