It’s expensive, difficult to make, and Magical Britain’s investigative process is pathetic. Given that a Veritaserum-given accusation and confession are considered conclusive even with known counters and a number of mind-altering spells widely taught, they most likely consider polyjuice too unlikely to bother worrying about in the vast majority of cases.
Polyjuice potion? I know they say it’s hard to make, but 3 second years managed it in canon. Did EY make a point of making it particularly harder to make than in canon?
Maybe not harder, but more dangerous. 2 second years managed in canon, and the 3rd messed up and got turned into a catgirl. HPMOR chapter 78 has a reference to that, except this time the catgirl transformation is permanent.
