Regulations that don’t achieve anything create a massive drag on innovation and commerce. Every regulation is a compliance check that needs to be paid for, a lawyer that needs to be hired, etc. which advantages incumbents.
It’s like lines of code in a program — each one makes the application worse, so each one should have a purpose that it achieves.
