"For instance. the Aquaducts that feed water to the city of LA go through some deserts north of there that are remote - and the giant pipes are exposed. There are no guards, nothing."
Which is still a body on the ground in one place. These hacks can go country-wide pretty easily. It still seems like something that would be worth digging into because that digital scale can't be replicated by any physical action.
Plus attack-in-depth is a thing. If you can cheaply add "mess up all civilian automotives", you might want to do it, even if you are also blowing up aqueducts and such.
