The story of weapons vs. countermeasures is for the most part, a history of just such assymmetries in favor of weapons. With few exceptions, weapons are generations ahead of countermeasures. It is still much much easier to shoot someone than to defend against being shot. It’s easier to drop nuclear warheads than intercept them, to lay mines than sweep for them, and so on. I think it’s just the usual wages of entropy, in the same way that it’s easier to spread falsehoods than recitfy them.
