You're framing this as an XY problem, but it isn't really an XY problem.
In XY problems the problem solver has the ability to solve the root problem instead of the presented one.
However, X has zero ability to go into the jungles of Myanmar and fight off the armed militias which are paid to protect the compounds of literally thousands of scammers.
What you are arguing for is corporate vigilantism. Not having the ability or authority to do things properly does not entitle you do enact your own vision of justice, and it definitely does not protect you from criticism when your "solution" ends up having negative consequences for innocent people.
X can't stop the scammers, they can only block them or ignore them.
99% of the public would prefer they block them than overlook them, and you're out of touch if you think otherwise.
