Why is that, you ask?

Because in our country we have jury trials to decide FCC forfeitures, they are conducted by the DoJ. There is a lower dollar limit, under which, the DoJ will not become involved. A fine for talking over the fruitcake won't cut it.

Furthermore, does anyone think a US jury is going to convict someone for talking over a foul mouthed Canadian libeler who threatened the US Ambassador, who incites individuals to murder others, and who also calls on al Qaeda to murder Americans? All of the above are known as "affirmative defenses" plus about 20 more I can think of, just off the top of my head.

Sorry; only a tiny handful of the pro-fruitcake crowd even see this as an issue. Now, the unidentified music, jamming, etc., yes, that's an embarassment, but I still wouldn't want to see US tax dollars spent on tracking these people down.

The enforcement system is too costly, not worth the trouble in the majority of cases, and it takes too long. It's a waste of tax dollars to chase down a guy who's probably drunk and living in a trailer while living his dream of being Wolfman Jack. If he's on 275 he's not interfering with emergency comms and that's a good place for him.
