I understand this and it's similar to what happens with, for example, theft or shoplifting: if we cracked down really hard on it, the honest user's experience would be disproportionately impacted and our collective freedom could be restricted too (imagine policemen searching whoever exits a supermarket, or cameras spying and tracking virtually everyone everywhere). At the same time, it's profoundly unfair that we need to let a certain class of people (fraudsters, scammers, thieves) to live at society's expense and I would like something could be done about that. Who knows, maybe sample crackdowns with really heavy consequences.
