You call it "special pleading."
​
Yes, there is some special pleading involved. But this is mostly about pragmatics, as in:
​
  • Don't change things in ways that will alienate a large block of the public, because that will only lead to serious social disruption.
​
... but it seems painfully slow.
This isn't about changing laws. It is about changing the culture. And changing the culture is always painfully slow.
