That's because law is ultimately subjective, not objective. Even if you use some objective framework, the choice of that framework over others was ultimately subjective.
Why do you think fairness and justice depends on what the convicts or I say? It doesn't. Law is ultimately objective - though some subjectivity creeps in here and there. The choice of that framework isn't dependent upon someone's wishes or whims, which is why it isn't subjective.
