because nothing gets done that way.

Imagine thinking that you can't simultaneously work to make one thing better while calling out the badness of something else.
You can try that. But you may find you alienate the allies who could help you to make that one thing better, thereby making nothing better. An even-handed approach seems moral, but if all you do is complain equally about everyone who doesn't fit your strict moral standards, you won't do anything useful in the real world. Sometimes, you have to pick a fight and not be too purist about choosing your allies.
