If it's more treatable than the others, why do they estimate up to 70% of people with BPD attempt and 10% complete suicide?

It's like "yeah, we have a good treatment for virus x and not as good a treatment for virus y, and virus y can be deadly, but virus x kills way more percentage of the people that get it vs virus y."

Do people with BPD not get treatment as much as other personality disorders, does it just suck that much more, or is the right treatment just inaccessible?
