It's particularly bad in the anglosphere because we have common law legal systems that are built around resolving personal disputes in court.
This has upsides -- it was a good solution to the problem in the 1200s of people solving disputes by fighting it out -- but in a modern context the downsides are pretty high thanks to rent-seeking lawyers.
