it takes a long time to identify the +EV players this way, the worst thing a casino can do is throw out a bad player on a lucky streak.
and of course they care how it's done. if you work out how the guy is beating you, you might be able to stop other people doing it in future.
actually the casino will only throw out card counters that they expect to beat the game. many if not most card counters are horrible players who are still expected to show a loss long term, the casino will let them play until they're broke.
Europe is full of millennia old cities, and while you're correct that some, like London, have had periodic disasters that allowed the city to be modernised somewhat, there are plenty that haven't. I live in Edinburgh, most of our buildings are listed (historial buildings that can't be touched) and our roads were designed for horses and the occasional cart, consequently we have traffic problems. We're cabled pretty well however.
Of course our telcos are awful, but that's the other argument:)
