Why? Let us put it the way the FSC does.
"Its mission is to safeguard the industry from oppressive governmental regulation and to promote good business practices within the industry."
This does not say their mission is safeguard the industry from the oppressive governmental regulation that we see fit and to promote good business practices within the industry when we decide to.
I do not personally care if it is 2257 regulation or the blockage of access in some rural part of arkansas. It always effects someone, 2257 may effect many of us but also not everyone, just like nearly any other regulation can.

I am also not targeting kids, yet let us be realistic. Children age 12-17 are a huge economic factor and have one of the largest if not the largest amount of expendable income.

Again let us not be nieve. Kids have had access to their own credit cards for a few years now. Any kid can go into a local store and pick one up for a few bucks thanks to Visa kids card, and Mastercards prepaid card. These would not be stolen cards and actually would be legit. Nobody in this industry however gave out these cards nor even suggested them, yet some how we will be to blame as an industry as a whole.
Those that are targeting children are indeed sick, yet there are already laws on the books regarding misleading domain names as well as meta tags. I know it is a crazy idea but how about people enforce what is already on the books instead of just making shit up.
