That is by design. Generally, unless you are well-heeled or can get lawyers to work pro bono or on contingency, you can only work the court system so much... and you generally don't get to court shop and you do not have judges you appointed on the bench.

If you have enough money (your lawyers only need to be marginally competent) you can drag things out for a LONG time--long enough that your opponent runs out of time or money or both and either gives up or is forced to settle... and then your lawyers eat most of the settlement.

You can even outlast the US government (particularly if the government changes hands).

All the justice money can buy - that’s the justice system in capitalistic societies - because everything - everything - is based on money.
