And there's a practical reason for that: establishing proof of 
unauthorized use of a frequency is a heck of a lot easier than 
intentional interference.  All the former requires is triangulation of 
the offending station.  The latter requires that plus a finding of 
intent. It CAN happen; but more often than not what is actually found is 
a faulty piece of equipment that is emitting something and everything 
else catching a bad harmonic. There was a famous case about this in 
Wales in which an old television set took out a town.[1]
