Because you're not just reporting on the awful status quo. You're mis-characterizing it as natural and inevitable rather than a serious of choices, often wrong, that we keep letting people with questionable motives make on everyone's behalf to the benefit of those who already have too much while others suffer from not having enough.
Put another way, you're framing blind obedience to rules that haven't served the vast majority of people well as not just a good idea but the ONLY possibility.
You may not set policy, but whether you're aware of it or not, you're defending policy that needs attacking.
