The difference is pirates lose to the navy. The cartels can stand up to the Mexican government and make their life hell if they try crack down on their activities.

Yes, Mexico will have to give them pretty significant concessions, which is definitely a problem. But at least they'll stop shooting up busses full of civilians.
