Yes but equally powerful actors (relatively speaking) are interested in such resources and attacks, and can ensure the same high level of comfort for the attackers, so it's probably a wash. When they always have a safe haven to run to and lay low in a comfortable way without significant losses (that aren't just cost of business), what good is such a slap? In my mind I see it like the same as throwing a beer bottle at a robbers car as they drive away. Even if you hit it, at best it's some scratches or maybe a busted tail light, but they're still gone with your goods.
