Because it's over-broad, outlawing for example immutable web server logs.

Laws against murder are good too, but I think we all agree that a law against murder which defined saying mean things as murder would be over-broad.

I think a better analogy is automobile laws. Yes it’s a pain to have your car inspected and registered over and over, and there are plenty of places where speed limits are frustratingly below what a driver could safely deal with, but in general these laws do protect people not only from themselves, but others, who are perhaps not so careful with their car.
