ELI5: Why is arresting people for pirating so difficult when ISP's can see exactly what is going through from your connection?

There's no incentive for them to do so. If the government asks for the data for a specific person, the ISP will give it to them (if the proper court orders are obtained and presented). But the ISP, on its own, has no reason to preemptively stop people from doing whatever they like on their internet connections; an ISP that did this would get a really bad reputation (the ultimate nosey busybody) and would probably lose business.
