Can anyone explain why this stuff isn't slipped into other must-pass bills like other riders?

I really don't understand how the Crypto Caucus sucks at this.

You can slip anything into:

Budget Reconciliation Acts to prevent government shutdown

That new gun control bill

why is this easy for others to do and not for these guys to do?

Which SuperPac/campaign has to get supported?

There is vocal, widespread and organised opposition. Slipping things into bills works when the opposition is nonchalant, narrow and/or terribly organised.
