This is actually very Japanese; they just don't talk about the parts of society that they find reprehensible. Take mental illness for example. In Japan, you just don't talk about relatives who have it, and simply pretend that either everything is okay or those relatives simply don't exist. If it becomes known that a family member has a mental illness, other people will either pretend they don't know, or simply ignore the family in general (out of politeness).

It wouldn't surprise me if it worked similarly in the world of Legends: Other members of society are polite to diggers, while in turn, diggers are expected to keep to the edges and the low income areas of the city unless they have business elsewhere, but digger business and news rarely comes up anywhere except places diggers might be found, as the society politely ignores their presence (or job).
