I agree, most of the time it will get taken back into hand. Given the default restore is at the start of turn, taking it back instead means they can play it again, getting any of the numerous beneficial entry effects out there and having it ready, which a restored character is not. So they are paying a cost, but getting a benefit that offsets it a little.
If this was a repeatable response, ie didn't have an exhaust cost, then it would make a potentially useful counter to an opponent's restoring effects. But as it is the slight tax it imposes seems low impact.
