I think that legality does matter here. Anyone can sell their body at any time. Marijuana can be grown in any basement or backyard.
We've seen that the Yeerks do not have the technology to build portable Kandronas that are good for more than the short-term. Maybe the Andalites could create them but they *won't.*
They always had one big one and a Kandrona on the Pool and Blade ships. The Blade ship is gone, the Pool ship was captured, and the Andalites/humans can figure out where the Kandrona is (if it survived the explosion) and regulate that. Yeerks also need more than just a body of water near the Kandrona or else they wouldn't need a pool and blowing up the pool wouldn't be such a big deal. Sure many would have died but the survivors could have found a bathtub or a sink or something and been fine. The Pool ship wouldn't have had to land and the Animorphs couldn't have stolen it.
It seems very unlikely that the Yeerks could have gotten their hands on a Kandrona and built a Yeerk pool without anyone noticing and approving.
