For some reason a lot of BLP policy is like that:

I think that's an overstatement - it sometimes doesn't work, which is
quite distinct from "never works".
"The policy doesn't work" doesn't mean that all BLPs are bad, it just
means
that they are *as* bad as they would have been without the policy. The
cases you refer to as it "working" are cases where other policies work and
these polices provide no extra benefit.
