I think there's also a degree of picking on someone who can't defend themselves.

I think in this case, the solution to both of those issues is: if you dont want to get picked on, dont be a piece of shit people want to pick on

Precisely the reason. It’s seen as dishonorable, unsportsmanlike, or a form of cowardice, to attack the defenseless. Some cultures also have a kind of social pact to either speak well or remain silent, but the rule against attacking those who can’t defend is fairly universal.
