"which simply does not exist in the law"
Rather sure it does, some crimes like credit card fraud are separate from unauthorized access of the computer systems the information came from. Exploiting the data is not the same as exploiting to access the data.
Lawyers are deployed to push their client's POV, wins or losses may "shift the line" regarding how written laws are upheld in court. Which in my opinion is used by some as a chance to defray from responsibility to properly administer public facing systems.
