And if later on someone proposes more aggressive action if you don't do that action, they now have a record of all the times you've failed to do that thing which they can point to about how the current level of penalties are not sufficient. That said, the penalty is not just $10k. It's $10k for an unknowing violation, or $100k for a knowing violation that "does not create a material risk of death, serious physical injury, or a catastrophic risk" or a unknowing violation that does cause that, and $10m for if you knowingly violate it and it does cause risk of death or serious physical injury, etc. I imagine the legal framework and small penalty if you fail to actually publish something can play into the knowing/unknowing state if they investigate you as well.
