This situation seems pretty clear, though it's not a PWC-exclusive issue: the number of operators on the lake who either don't know or don't care about the 150' rule (and others) is very high these last few years. Whether it's purely related to the increased number of users is unclear.
In terms of PWC specifics, I and my riding friends, who consistently try to do the right thing, have been put in a ton of situations where we've needed to bend/break the rules. I posted about this before, but usually it's to avoid being swamped by vessels going the "perfect disruption" speed in channels.
