Doctors would totally push cheap testicle-exploding drugs on their patients if there wasn't extensive regulation preventing them from doing that.

They do push life-explodingly addictive and harmful painkillers on their patients, despite knowing the harm it does, because regulations don't prevent them from doing that.

What would be the consequences of an FDA for IoT? Huge price increases, sudden workability of patents as a means of protection, but more security and better products?

And who would have had some of the most input into said extensive regulation?
