In general, society spends an awful lot of extra effort just because a few percent might abuse it. Sometimes, it’s completely hypothetical abuse.

Healthcare? Someone might overuse it, and therefore everyone has to pay out the nose.

Unions? They let some people slack off at work.

Child tax credits? Some parents might use it to buy drugs (this was an actual argument from Joe Manchin, and it’s completely made up).

Reduce the military? What if China invades the US?
