If, according to Word of God, that a Kwami does not return to its Miraculous unless the holder willingly chooses to give up its power, then simply taking them from Ladybug and Chat logically wouldn't do Hawkmoth any good since they're being removed against the holders' will. However, I would assume that the death of the holder also works in freeing a Kwami from its bond, so the only way Hawkmoth's getting their powers is literally over their dead bodies.
