Simply because looking at vulnerabilities in a ticket system won't actually bring them any closer to actual free public transit. It may bring them more publicity though by the media that will talk about them, but they are also labeling this cause as being the criminal side.... which isn't really good (that's actually the strategy that multiple government use to push their agenda, making the opposite side seems like they are infringing the law).
