I can think of tons:
The entire US Civil Rights movement
Women's Suffrage
South African anti‑apartheid movement
#MeToo
etc, etc.
I think the idea of govt needing to "cover the real world scenario diligently enough" isn't the issue here. Its a matter of non‑justiciable demands. My biggest issue with SKG was the lack of real goals. They needed clearly defined actionable demands from the beginning because groups like the ESA were going to come in swinging hard on them. They didn't do that.
It's not a matter of law failing to cover real world scenarios, its a matter of making real world demands that can be addressed by law.

Those are terrible examples. We needed affirmative action policies to get past people’s biases, and women’s suffrage needed an amendment to the Constitution. MeToo was more the destruction of “catch and kill” tactics by social media for powerful men committing crimes that rarely leave evidence beyond corroborating witnesses. Plus, there was zero danger of eroding intellectual property rights here.
