Whatever we do, we mustn't address the root cause. There's no money in it.

You're absolutely right. As we all know, the perfect must be the enemy of the good, and so we must shun and ban anything that might be helpful until we spontaneously reach a utopian society where there are no problems at all.
They’re not suggesting perfectly addressing the root cause, just actually addressing it at all.
And it's being addressed, but doing that takes a long time. In the meantime, real people are suffering actual hurt that is alleviated by this medicine.
