Question: How come every field goal looks like this:

Yet almost none of them are blocked?
Analysis:
I realize that blocking on special teams is terrible, but the fact that the kicker has five or more players on top of him every single time he makes a kick just looks stupid. Either make those result in a block because people are ignoring blocking on their field goal teams, or fix it so that it doesn't look like this, because it seriously looks amateur.

I mean, if a QB feels hurry pressure from one player coming off a block five yards away, you would imagine that the kicker would feel hurry pressure when there's three players one yard away.
Edit: clarified the question.

Main reason being because we don't want very many field goals being blocked in general, and we cannot guarantee people will put decent players to block vs those with STOPs etc, so FG block rolls are very very difficult to pass. A decent FG block team will still get a few more blocks due to the fact that they should pass the rolls more often, and get through more often.
I agree the blocking could look/work better.
