> Why cant they make all robocalls illegal?

Generally, speaking, the FCC can't pass laws, only interpret and apply them. In this instance they are not making a new law, they are declaring that the powers granted to them under the TCPA (a law passed by Congress in 1991) allows them to regulate/ban AI voiced calls.

Government services. Voter info, school closures, water outages, etc.
