Well, it's the usual compromise between safety and convenience. If you
comment that check out and accidentally press the the StartTerm button
twice (like if you double-click instead of single-clicking), you'll
get two instances of term running on the same terminal and modem, what
a mess that would be. If you leave the code as is however, there is no
danger of that.
