There are meaningful benefits from the existing whistleblower laws; they're just focused on a very different set of problems and concerns.
The existing whistleblower laws handle cases where a small number of people are, in fact, not following the official rules. This might be sexual harassment or embezzlement or something, or someone otherwise using government resources for personal aggrandizement. They don't really handle cases where a government entity has deliberately chosen (more or less following proper procedures or more or with the acquiescence or support of its leadership) to do something that some people think is bad. What someone might (perhaps dismissively) term a political objection to the entity's decisions or actions.
