It's not the actual removal of the hop-up unit; it's the removal of the hop-up ball which engages the hop-up nub. Removing this ball is said to effectively rid of the hop-up.

You still need the entire hop-up assembly on the barrel though, as the rubber bucking is used to hold and seat the chambered BB.

Some people say removal of said hop-up improves accuracy at closer ranges, hence the reasoning why some WA GBBs do not have hop-up.
