Utilities have trimming programs, but if they trimmed to the degree

for everything.

Why would they protest?

The degree of trimming needed to protect against every contingency would
leave little more than the trunk.

Not trimming trees around power lines is false
economy. It will cost more in the long run.

No, preventing once in a lifetime occurrences every year is always more
expensive.
