The people who build FB's ads platform have their performance judged by metrics like revenue, eCPM, and internal relevance scores.

Building capabilities to add arbitrary human-defined rules into those optimization functions only makes their jobs more difficult and is a drag on hitting team targets. I'm curious why you think they're incentivized to do so.

Drug dealers and human traffickers have their performance judged by their superiors, and are under constant pressure from competition. Law enforcement only makes their jobs more difficult and is a drag on hitting team targets.

Let's be more sympathetic to the little guys.
