Because no-one has the balls to punish them in a way that really hurt
their bottom line. It's mostly about companies where ops are not allowed
to work on problems not related to paying customers. I bet their
bean-counters would create accounts for misc-problems in record time if
the top 10 transit networks would null-route their AS'es for a while.

Get together - define the requirements - enforce - strict, no
exceptions!
