Big cases against big companies are different. Since the company will have (nearly) unlimited resources to fight, the FTC will only bring a case if they're pretty sure they can win, otherwise it will be a big waste of money all around.

It's really not anything like the police arresting people.

The government has lost many antitrust cases. In fact, they often do them for political reasons, not because they actually care about the outcome.
