Prosecutors actually get an even stronger version of immunity. Cops get qualified immunity (which is a stupendously easy bar to cross) but prosecutors get absolute immunity.
It's horrifying and clearly not the right way of handling the "well we don't want everybody suing the DA that prosecuted them" problem.

You don't get the officials buried in lawsuits and you establish a hard boundary as to when you're allowed to sue so you don't get problems with suits testing the edge.
