"What if they gave a trial and no one came... and their own trial at that!"

It has happened before. Some trials and cases can be argued based on law and undisputed facts. Some jurisdictions do not allow subpeonas to compel an appearance at trial of a non-party witness if a deposition can be arranged, has been taken or the person must travel some distance or is out of state. I had a case once where the key defendant refused to appear (due to a typo in plaintiff's witness list). It backfired because the jury concluded that he must have something to hide.
