Because using the CFAA as a cudgel against things you don't like, whether it's journalists exposing insecure government systems, or companies engaging in deceptive marketing practices is a bad idea? For the latter, there's already laws against it that doesn't involve CFAA, eg. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-16/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-255 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-16/chapter-I/subchapter-B...

I think you're confusing bad ethics with a bad idea. A prosecutor's job is to win, not behave ethically.
