Why would they change or retire? Fear of death? Prison? Mobsters have always faced both. They knew what the potential consequences were when they joined. They knew years before they joined. Did it stop them? Sure you have your Michael Franzeses, Joey Merlinos, and John Gotti Jrs who by all appearances are done with organized crime, but those are rare and isolated cases. Some of you bring a civilian mindset to a Mafia forum. They don't think like you or me.
