We need a minimal sum to enable lawsuita.
Every time there is a leak, you have to prove you've suffered damages.
That's hard to prove: even if someone commited massive fraud with your identify, you dont know if the data came from this leak, or from 10 other leaks.
Setting a minimum would mean thay you can immediately fine conpanies for loosing millions of records in one lawsuit, instead of a million suits proving that each particular claimant was harmed
