At first, Hawk Moth could only akumatize those who agreed to be akumatized.

Then - in "Catalyst" - he could take over all those who were once akumatized - assuming they were afraid of the scarlet akumas.

Now - since "Gamer 2.0" - not even the fear is needed anymore. Hawk Moth can make them all disappear and put them out of action.

Of course that limits the reliability of those who have been akumatized before. It does not make sense to permanently give them a miraculous if Hawk Moth can so easily knock them out.

Also with the temporary miraculous owners. They may have disappeared before Ladybug finds them.
