...it's a machine, dude. It doesn't work better just because Shuyin's the one controlling it.
I think Crop meant, wasn't Vegnagun only a threat to Spira because Shuyin was using it? If some Yevon guy was on it, he obviously wouldn't have shot at Spira, just Sin.

Besides, Yevon was pretty happy with having Sin around. They wanted to keep their hold over the people; restricting their use of machina and forcing the belief that Sin was divine punishment for using them in the past down the people's throats. Operation Mi'ihen was a big sham to earn them fake cred and make it look like they were trying to rid Spira of Sin, but it's really the last thing they wanted.
