    I think the “extra” charges are often used to put someone who’s clearly a danger to society away for longer. Another example I can think of that’s similar is someone going to jail for CSAM gets a separate charge for every frame of video, as they’re separate “images”. I agree that the law should be more straightforward but there are instances where nuance can be helpful.
