Thing is, CONCORD can only blow us up because they have a literal backend into every registered capsuleer’s pod - they can take control and do whatever they want to us, in high-sec 
That doesn’t apply to anyone who isn’t a CONCORD-registered capsuleer, which includes the pirate factions & most definitely the Drifters.

Would be cool if Concord would attack drifters on site, then maybe solo folks can join in, but if that super weapon went off just as someone landed on grid…not good.
When CCP was testing the Drifter/Amarr war on sisi, that is basically what happened. But it put such a huge load on the server they canceled it. That and the infinite free loot and salvage.
Some funny attempts I’ve made have been trying to snipe them (they surprised me by shooting their doomsday right up the corn hole at 300km),I’ve tried speed and they swatted me like a mosquito and I’ve tried buffer tanking them and was crushed like a cockroach. So far my carriers have held them at bay and killed them. Oh and they hold a grudge,I spanked a few with my carrier and left. About 3 hours later thinking nothing of the matter I went belt ratting in the same system in my Tempest (looking for True sansha and dreadnaught spawns) and suddenly Drifters appeared,vaporized my Tempest. My cousin laughed and laughed.
Take a look at the zkillboard info for Apollo Tyrannos and Artemis Tyrannos, 1.05 and 1.06 Trillion isk in kills respectively and take a look at all they’ve shot down,note the carriers and dreads they’ve killed. Even with a buffer tank they still put a hurting on capitals.
On the off subject of CONCORD. Last time I played with them on SISI I used a dreadnaught with the “ohcrap” button fitted. It survived 2 vollies from the super gun at 40 million+ HP per hit. CONCORD doesn’t activate some magical self destruct,they outright smash you with ungodly damage. Nothing survives CONCORD…if by some chance you do escape,they hold a grudge. They will shoot down the next ship you undock or bring into highsec.
Many many years ago I popped a botter ice mining and warped around til I could dock. I did so and after my global timer expired I undocked a pod to get another desi. At the gate CONCORD appeared and podded me. I lost my implants and a few days worth of skills because I hadn’t updated my clone. CCP got a laugh,reimbursed my implants but I had to retrain the skills. Lesson learned,there are no get out of CONCORDOKKEN trading cards.

People may not realize it, as I’m not sure when this post is from, but the drifters are a plot device, in the new expansion the Trig Collective absolutely whoops their asses, so our goal as capsuleers is to use collective tech to find out how to fight back the drifters
