Equally and fully enforcing laws seems about as likely as equally and fully eliminating bugs from all software to me

Look at the efforts put into reducing bugs in software: how much money is spent on that, new paradigms are creating to reduce bugs, linters are written and used, etc.

What are the specific, and large-scale efforts made to make the law and enforcement more equal?

We could at least try as hard as software bugs - rather than the current situation where the scale is tipped in the other way (ie there are numerous incentives to introduce 'bugs' into the system and not many to take them out)

Oh, definitely agreed – just trying to illustrate that we have to design a society that accounts for the inevitable failures in enforcement as well.
