Kinda confirms to me that the current admin's strategy is to destroy as much as possible and only address the squeaky wheels on a case-by-case basis.
The small handful of things that we fight back against and win won't outweigh the sheer amount of damage they do to things we have less awareness of. A single win, no matter how large or trivial, will sate the general public for a time and give them the calmness the admin needs to keep moving forward.
Pretty sure this is a military strategy and probably has a name. Inundate your enemy with so many events they spread themselves too thin to address everything coming at them.
In debates it is sometimes referred to as gish gallop. Throw a huge number of things out there without regard for the likelihood of success with each of them to overwhelm the opponent.
