So what differs the Yakuza from other criminal groups and makes them so desirable to rp? Genuine question, cause i dont know. The post above is very similar to my personal thoughts on the matter - in essence, there is a historical basis to RP in a manner that is not as adversarial as other groups. I find the dynamic surrounding robberies and extortions to be in extremely poor OOC taste and therefore avoid them like the plague - but I would not expect a street gang to be anything but a street gang.
Robberies are just part of street gang life. Extortion rackets are just part of mob life. A yakuza would provide me a historically supported avenue of breaching into illegal RP without having to engage in what I consider to be distasteful engagements that needlessly sabotage other players.

They wouldn't be able to expand due to the secure presence of opposing organizations in the city.
If this is the case, then they should start shutting down all the Cosa Nostra factions since they have no power in LA irl. If there are Cosa Nostra factions, there can be a Yakuza faction too. There's no European or Albanian criminal cells in LA either.
Not calling out any specific factions, just stating my beliefs cause I don't have double standards, I just have standards. Like others have noted, they don't really have a presence in LA irl.
