Technically, it is illegal to remove or disturb anything on the lake bottom, though in reality difficult to enforce and hopefully enforced within reason. But if I had a neighbor who was using one of these to blow debris out into the lake or onto my shorefront, I'd certainly ask them to stop. Raking and removing leaf litter and debris from your waterfront, fine. Blowing it around and accelerating the eutrophication of the lake, not so much.
