Who "usually" takes it that way?  How about the similar language "Ein
mochin beyadan"?  AFAIK that *always* means the conduct is not approved
of, but is not so bad that one must interfere with those who do it.
Generally it means there is a daas yachid who allows it, so those who
do it are not committing a clear issur, and should therefore be left alone.
It certainly doesn't mean that the objection is only a rejected hava amina!
So why would you think it means that here?
