I like Achilles' explanation that everyone knows full well that the Prince and his castle exists but they're not particularly inclined to care what happened to him because they're no longer being taxed by a shitty aristocrat.

I suspect it's because it's one of those things that you know would be applied disproportionately severely towards people who are poor or POC or disabled. It's an idea which could be incredibly meritocratic in principle but borderline eugenicist in practice.
