Banning drink-driving hasn't completely stopped drink-driving, but it has reduced the number of cases and the consequent mayhem caused - there were 1640 drink-driving fatalities in 1979, and 230 in 2019.
Health and Safety Laws at work haven't totally stopped deaths and injuries at work, but they have reduced the number of workplace deaths from 620 in 1974 to 124 in 2024.
Saying you can't fix everything so you shouldn't try to fix anything isn't really an optimal way of trying to progress things...
