Seems they didn't want to risk it.

Or they're back at their old tricks and are doing cartel stuff again; making secret agreements with each other about respecting each other's home turf.
Heh, that's quite the narrative.
A CAPTOR mine sits underwater listening to nearby ships or submarines, for weeks to months. If it hears the right sort of ship, it can launch itself autonomously, track it and kill it, without a human in the loop. It's been in service since the 70s.
The legitimacy of a cause depends on your value system, and who is to say what sort of value system the monkeys have. Perhaps their value system places "stick up for other monkeys" before other considerations like impartial assessment of guilt or blame.

I live in a society with people who do watch it. I don't like the way broadcast TV turned people into numbed couch potatoes watching hours of ads a day.
Last mile infrastructure is not what I find objectionable about cable TV, and last mile infrastructure isn't going anywhere anyway. I want this to die: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_programming and I don't care what medium is used to transmit it. Whether it's a coaxial cable, radio transmission from terrestrial tower or satellite, or the internet, it makes no difference to me. The format itself is what I find awful.

Yeah, because broadcast programming is a dying format for boomers. I celebrate the demise of all of it, and any company that produces it.
And it has been dying. Look at the ads the roll between the shows and it's clear that TV watchers are aging out. It's all hearing aid commercials and malpractice lawsuits' the only people watching TV through a settop box anymore are the elderly. Bringing that same format of content to youtube's platform, to be watchable on the devices young people use (smartphones, laptops, etc) is a play to make this format relevant to young people again. I hope they fail.
And the sooner that dies, the better. Cable TV is crap and I don't want to see that model of media succeed into the internet era.
