I can't imagine ANYONE taking out a microchip on their own unless they had something to hide. COMMON SENSE (which really isn't common) would tell you that opening up tissue under less than sterile conditions leaves a pup open to the risk of scarring and infection that could lead to sepsis and death. Seems like pretty high price to pay to avoid feeling a little bump.

All of my dogs have been microchipped. We've never had a problem with any of the dogs. In fact, we can't even feel them because they were properly placed by the vet. They were all chipped at the same time they were spayed/neutered so they didn't even feel the insertion.
