Why wouldn't they do that? Well they dont do that right now. There are lots of ships in the ocean, right at this moment, and the US coast guard isn't going around sinking any of them. Sure, if they enter their waters, and try to break their countries laws, then it might happen. But this is instead about international waters. People travel around the world, on boats, all of the time. I could get on a boat, right now, and travel into the ocean, and I'm not going to have to worry about the coast guard sinking me.

Pleasure craft get boarded all the time by the coast guard. [0][1][2][3][4] Often on trips from the west coast to hawaii, often on trips sailing north from southern california. The coast guard, can at any time board / search your vessel without any probable cause or warrants. Even in international waters. It's on you to make sure you're not doing anything illegal that would warrant a seizure of your vessel and all the property on it. ( again, even in international waters ) You're right though, they likely won't sink it.
