I wish the US legal system would make changes to discourage these types of frivolous lawsuits

Me too. But it probably won't for three reasons:

1. The civil litigation business is immensely profitable for attorneys

2. The number of people / organizations sued is small enough that they don't have a loud enough voice

3. Anytime someone advocates for reform (ex: loser pays) they will trot out the one case that so clearly calls out for justice and state how the reform would keep justice from occurring in this case
