My theory is that the DNC seems to not be very good at taking advantage of this capability.

Or maybe it's the fact that all social media platforms are in the hands of a few people who happened to stand in the front row during Trump's inauguration.
Dems don't have the capability cause their enemies control the algorithms.

People like Zuckerberg only care about money and power. Meta will happily accept the DNC's advertising money.

That all being said, the DNC could've also outlawed political advertising on social media when they had the majority in the Senate and house years ago.

They support Trump cause his entire platform is "give billionaires free reign and no taxes". They'll never support Democrats over him, and never have.
And outlawing political advertising (by private actors) on social media would have been reversed by the Supreme Court. Even before it was taken over by the right. It's very clearly against the 1st amendment.
