The public domain doesn’t threaten to sue them.

The public. It's ours.

Mskes sense, but how does that work?

I'm open to having a conversation about it. What does the space look like between "no the public does not have standing", and "the public has standing individually or as a class"? What are the tradeoffs at those boundaries, and how can we work towards creative solutions that exist in the space between those extremes?
