A more useful construct is that civil offenses are only a problem if someone is aware of, motivated, and able to afford to sue you over it. Businesses do a lot of arguably illegal things that are not likely to lead to an actual lawsuit.
They also require articulable and legally legible damages, and if you want to make it worth your time they have to be significant compared to the legal cost and in no significant way attributable to yourself.
A lot of things a laypersons would agree were damages just won't fly in civil court and even when there is damage it's limited by factors like what actions you could have taken to mitigate (but may not have).
It is ubiquitous in every part of the business world, both internal and consumer-facing.
