it’s that they can lose the trademark if they don’t try to defend it

So the copyright and trademark system needs to change then.

Also, those laws were essentially ghostwritten by Disney and the like, so I very much doubt that wasn't an intentional thing so they can go "look, we have to sue you, our hands are tied!"
