Not everyone has funds for a lawyer or time to get it done. Sueing someone in this country is complicated and expensive

Theoretically, everyone's supposed to have right to self-representation. If some enterprising individual helps them to forego their need for a lawyer, and gives lengthy instructions on all the right forms, even if only 40% of the participants do it correctly, it could be a big hassle for them.

Of course, the other issue is that it would be a big hassle for the courts.

I'm aware how inaccessible civil court is for many people. While not addressing the time aspect, plenty of lawyers will work on contingency. Hurting a companies bottom line is what they understand the most.
