Under religious law, that's true, but under secular law, courts (especially in New York) have been denying relief to husbands who maliciously withhold the get as an extortion tactic unless they drop that bullshit. However, an actual law directly targeting the Get was fairly recently found unconstitutional (under the free exercise clause I believe), so a court can't directly order a husband to issue one.
Also recently (2020), an actual husband tried to sue over his wife's refusal to
accept a get, essentially blocking his ability to get a religious remarriage after the divorce, and did not succeed.
There is very limited recourse for a malicious refusal to grant a get (which is incidentally the Jewiest thing I have ever seen).
This has proved so frustrating that some women have actually paid rabbis to torture their husbands until they granted one. Four rabbis in New Jersey were convicted of doing this:

Sick but hilarious.
