It seems to me to be a lesser charge. A net that catches a larger population and they can then go fishing for bigger fish to make the prosecutor look good. Or as I've heard from others, it is used to simplify prosecution. PedoAnon can't argue "it's a deepfake, not a real kid" to the SWAT team.
ah that could be a possibility as well. Just ensuring reasonable flexibility in prosecution so you can be sure of what you get.
