Because the people who figured that out also figured out the divide-and-conquer strategy. So first you quietly take X% out of everyone's pocket, and then you do massive PR campaign splitting them into identity groups and forcing them to fight over who should be more entitled to a 0.1X% bonus in the name of equity and justice. And you turn a blind eye, and even somewhat encourage people burning each other's businesses and getting each other fired over made-up differences.
And it works, it just works. All the recent equity activism is about raiding the upper middle class and giving to those who openly oppose economic independence and self-reliance. Completely ignoring the fact that it's the corporations and the people controlling them, who are actually behind the economic degradation of the rank-and-file stratum. And calling it out publicly can now cost you your job [0].
So, endless equity fights for the bottom 99% and an unprecedented increase of power for the top 1%. Congratulations, people.
