So a weak fine that is rolled into cost of doing business expense? AKA nothing.

They can't fine at the OPC, they can't even force action. Though sometimes that is a good thing as it opened up some room for class actions, in Ontario at least.

Sure, but that's missing the point. Nothing will be the result. So in this case, somebody won't be lining their pockets with a nothing burger fine. So less than nothing is the result.
