Because most people have mortgages and cant afford to walk out of a job without another one to go to, which isnt the easiest thing to achieve when your self esteem has been obliterated.
I would prefer the company was taken to an employment tribunal, not a high court - but I dont know enough about the legal system in the States... there should be a process to review these things at a level below the courts, but with the same dignity as a court.
Crimes against property and crimes against people are different things... and my views about petty burgulary and a police force I see as hostile to the needs and goals of normal working class people are different to my views about corporations that do not take appropriate measures to protect their employee's from emotional violence.
If you believe in a world were it is the law of the jungle and the strong survive and the weak toughen up or crumple, I guess I can understand your view. I dont live in that world, and I hold that the majority of people do not wish to either.
Bullying exists and thrives precisely because of this whole "dont be a crybaby"/"toughen up"/"why dont you stand up for youself, are you a wimp?" culture.
