You opened this up to a larger discussion - but you are essentially correct. These problems aren't really problems if you decide to act. However, at least in the U.S., acting seems to cost money.
Well in the US the people responsible for the brazen robocalling can simply hire lobbyists to convince congress it is bad to limit robocalls. So our entire system is a bit broken at the moment when we have a terrible congress and a president who appoints questionable leaders (see the guy who he put in charge of the FCC ending Net Neutrality)
