When combined with stories about the average american having roughly zero savings and negative net worth, the strategy is very SLAPP in that very few americans can financially afford to respond to a letter from a lawyer or a lawsuit even if a win is guaranteed. There is also synergy where even a miracle free lawyer none the less requires time off from work. "I need time off on Monday for court, previous employer problem" "Oh OK you're fired take all the time you want". Finally like many legal agreements they're primarily CYA.
