I don't participate in the incessant and insufferable FBI babbling, so I might be wrong, but I expect it's a mix of a few things.
There are some to whom it's just a joke, but who have failed to realize just how dead the horse they're beating is.
There are some people who are uncomfortable with their own attraction and use the FBI meme to put on airs that they only read it "ironically" and that there's no way they'd actually like that gross stuff, h-haha.
There are some who are genuinely dumb enough to think loli manga should be illegal.
And I suppose there are probably a few who use the meme as a way to vent their frustration that in many places those dumb people mentioned above were the ones who wrote the laws. The FBI itself may not care, but it works as a meme better than RCMP or whatever Australia has, and those agencies actually DO ruin lives over this shit; that whole idea, that fiction and objective reality are legally declared the same and you can go to jail for imaginary crimes, is such an absurd mockery of justice that to many people the only response is to laugh away the disgust.

i know australia is pretty strict on this, but aside from that one american guy who tried importing ilya how many people even got arrested in canada? i don't even think the uk arrested people ether,

It's hard to know how many actually get charged because the sentences often include restrictions on internet use, so people who get convicted won't be posting about it, and media reports don't generally give specifics of what CP a given person was arrested for.
I know there was at least one guy who got arrested while trying to import an onahole because the seller didn't remove the box art as he requested when ordering it, and it got deemed CP by import inspectors, since that incident is described as a warning in some buying guides. And since anti-AI fearmongering got popular I've seen a couple news stories about people getting arrested over AI-generated stuff. Other than that I only remember hearing about one or two cases that specified it was 2D, usually when the cop they interviewed brought it up as a reminder that it is illegal.

I think that much of the time (but definitely not always), it's just tacked on to increase the numbers for people who get arrested for the real stuff, rather than going for 2D-only people. Notably, the original court case which ruled that a fiction character is legally a "person" for the purposes of CP laws (R v Sharpe, 2001) was a guy who also had the real stuff.
