Hm. Lawyers love lawsuits about folks struck by lightning? So I'm not sure that's the reason this issue is not a lawyer's forte.

I'd suggest its because its hard to prove or prosecute. Because its technical and obscure. A single case, Google just has to say "Oh sorry; its turned back on". There's no money in them capitulating. And a class-action suit enters into the details of the issue, which are impenetrable to a judge?
