The field is just too large for *anybody* to effectively watch the whole patent space. And then you have to factor in the cost of idiot juries in Texas not understanding the concepts and awarding massive judgements against you.

The patent system is broken, and has been ever since the lawyers got involved and turned it into a job creation scheme for more lawyers.
