Two reasons that I can think of.
- As many others have mentioned, because many of the people taking advantage of others are not listening to ‘done’ mantras anyways. Changing it around would fall on deaf ears.
- Some people don’t realize they’re taking advantage of others (consider the phenomenon of taking people for granted). Some people might even think that they’re doing something good by taking advantage of someone.

The questions on this comment are different from the ones in the original post, lol… people understood your question, but they (rightly) didn’t understand that you wanted an answer to a different pair of questions.
Doing something with people is more challenging than telling something to people, or even trying to reach something.
People are harmful to society for a wide variety of reasons. Trying to treat all of them the same way will lead to failure.
That’s why the North American way of either locking people in jail or making them rich for being harmful to society isn’t working. We’ve tried only two things, and we’re out of ideas.
Why don’t we do anything differently? We can’t agree on what the solutions are, for one…let alone the causes. Secondly, the status quo is doing a good job at keeping the rich and powerful people rich and powerful. So there’s no real incentive to change it.
