^^ Because that's is what's preventing Supers like Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl from becoming full-time heroes again and the US Government wants to keep that law intact (because they are too far stuck in the past it seems), it also appears this will tie into Violet's motivation to becoming a full-time Super herself (since she can't resist her urge to fight crime alongside her family).

I assume the Underminer fight and the destruction it will cause to Metroville (since it's a 10 minute battle and is likely to be far worse than the stuff Syndrome pulled), will be blamed on Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl and likewise keeps the Supers from being able to go back to their roles again, that's why we have characters like Winston and the Amabassador helping the Parrs (or so it seems for Winston), this also explains why Rick's company is finished because the US Government is well aware of his illegal activites especially with Bob (as he was the one who caused all of this mess to happen in the first place).

Remember what Rick said after the Syndrome battle in the First film after Bob asked him if Supers could come out of hiding: The Government said, they did a good job, but they'll have to wait until the court makes a decision and I assume the day the Underminer fight happens is that very day the court decides it's verdict on Supers.
