When they do, they are punished for their lack of faithfulness and sometimes they are also given a lower law that will enable them to have a greater measure of obedience, but a corresponding diminished capacity to be blessed for their obedience.
I'm not willing to accept that God is going to passively stand by while His prophets are engaging in repeated gross sexual improprieties.

God does not intervene as much as many would like, it would otherwise destroy free agency.
If we accept the concept that polygamy is ever proper, then perhaps God's eternal view of sexuality is not so prudish as many would have us believe. Thus God did not destroy Joseph for what might be seen as improprieties.
