Let me play devil's advocate here and suggest that entrenched market participants love high-barrier-to-entry regulatory regimes. The FDA is "people in the drug discovery business'" moat.

When you do drug discovery and development safety and efficacy is your concern. Your aims and the FDA's coincide. It's Pharma-Bro Shkreli who uses the FDA as a moat, but I think the general public sees him as an aberration and pharma wishes he would just go away because he draws the wrong kind of attention.
