I don't think it implies that. I think it is "less usable", but still usable.
The ability to include a status with the usableKeys gives us a scale of
usability - from completely unfettered, to usable but with restrictions, to
completely unusable. 

This is the only example of "less usable" that I know I would use, but I can
imagine others. For example, the CDM could report that output protection is
required or that the expiration of the key is immanent. Those could be useful
to the application when deciding how to handle errors.
