I mean, we do and have, they just haven't yet been explicitly targeted at critical infrastructure. When they hit critical infrastructure, it has been more of an accident, that gets papered over by just paying the ransom (because it was a financially motivated attack) or the US government getting sufficiently pissed off to intervene directly state-to-state (which kinda happened with the Colonial Pipeline one in 2021).
If the attacks were targeted, were destructively motivated instead of financially motivated, there was no "kill switch", government threats ceased to work, etc... it'd be pretty bad.
