"But if it doesn't buff it in the slightest, then what's the point of removing it?"

It's to buff the Mafia. The Spy would still have the ability to read whispers and see who the Mafia visits. Because of Spies having the ability to read whispers, they are easier to confirm themselves and thus able to take charge of the town to gather information. The point of removing the ability to read Mafia's night chat is so that the Mafia can properly communicate. Like if a Janitor or Consigliere discovers a person's role, they can safely share it to the other Mafia members.

I'd be interested in trying out this change. I'm not saying it's a solution, but it's something I'd consider trying out to see how it affects gameplay.
