Cause they're useless against something the size of a ship. Those barriers around the power poles are there to protect against errant pleasure craft and nefarious actors. If something half the size of the Dali hit one, it'd wipe it out instantly. OTOH, the bridge pylons easily survive a pleasure craft strike.
Been in and out of their many times under sail, have seen them up close.
And yeah, I wouldn't be so quick to rule out bad actors. I'm not a tinfoil hat guy, but the timing of this days on after a terror attack in RU that Putin blames on us is somewhat intriguing.
