Yeah, having extra time to hack isn't actually helpful. If you need that extra time to hack, you're doing it wrong. You're holding up your teammates, you're less likely to be the one who hacks a terminal first, and you're most definitely depriving yourself of a better mod.

In short, you'd be hurting your teammates by equipping a handicap mod like Intruder.

(In order for Intruder to be balanced, it would have to be an aura mod that automatically corrects a percentage of links, protects those links from being changed by accident, and requires as few as 2 maxed Intruder auras to instantly solve hacking terminals. Even then, I'd rather that those two guys had Energy Siphon. That's how bad Intruder is, to me.)
