The most charitable reason is that they don't give a fluck. Same reason why their rocket boosters just fall wherever they fall, population center or not

Is there any data on which country's ships cut the most internet cables?
I think we need a total ships sailing for country / cuts.
This would be an interesting project for someone to work on, I wonder if there's a place where all the internet cable outages + reasons are available?
