Because I find that people use "can't be treated" not as a cue to search for a treatment, but as a claim that such a search will be fruitless. "Can't be done", not "we don't know how to do it yet".

And again, they haven't "demonstrated resistance to all treatment", they've "demonstrated resistance to a very finite list of treatments".
