Well you can also be spanked by the courts for frivolous litigation, and if it's truly frivolous, you may have a hard time finding an attorney, because they can be sanctioned for bringing such a suit as well.

This can happen in theory, but it is pretty rare. What you or I might call frivolous is often entertained in the court of law, and serial abusers of the court system may still issue hundreds or even thousands of attempts at lawsuits. This may be for monetary gain or to use the specter of the lawsuit as a cudgel to influence or intimidate.

This can also be exacerbated by ‘friendly’ (corrupt) courts that allow or even encourage this behavior.

It takes quite a bit of frivolous filing to get hit with any sanctions or fines.

A single frivolous lawsuit happens here and there, it's when people/organizations are clearly malicious and abusing the system by filing continuous suits against others.
