ISP/DNS-takedowns affect only customers of a single provider. Compelling every US provider is tedious and would still not affect people in other jurisdictions. CA-levy takedowns affect everyone.

A takedown against the hosting ISP would affect everyone, and DNS takedowns can involve changing the authoritative record.

The site can still move to a different jurisdiction and mirrors would still work. As evidenced by various takedown attempts against Sci-Hib.
