In this case there is a physical action (snooping) you can point to which was breaking the rules. Its clear and obvious to coin a phrase so people are frothing about it.
The vast majority of rule breaking is invisible in bending complex financial rules but breaking those rules probably gives any club a far greater advantage than that gained by Southampton. We got a points deduction but we would have needed a far greater one to actually relegate us that season. Most rule breaking still gets punished by a fine at any level of the game.
