It's not just that, it's that they don't care. People keep assuming it's solely based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can't fight it from existing to begin.

They'll decline to go after the websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can't afford to fight back and will just close when contacted.
