There's an incredibly limited amount of people working in cyber crime. Building a case, getting subpoenas takes a lot of effort. Even if something may be obvious to outsiders, building a case might still take a lot of effort. Those scarcely available people are usually put on the highest priority cases first. What they are, you might never know.
Then, if there's a network behind it you want to take down instead of only the fronts, you need to spend way more time on case building, writing, interacting with other agencies and I can go on.
