Actually, I've read somewhere that they actually found out and did something for it but somehow the information got lost
They let a sediment coating form on the lead. We do that too, and it's why the lead removal programs are only a top priority, and not an active emergency.
It actually works, because it's less a lead pipe, and more a "crusty mineral" pipe, with a lead coating.
Downside being that if you damage that buildup everything goes to shit, hence the decades of working to replace the pipes.
