>> If these things are good for you as an individual (cheap, convenient), why would you want the government to step in and mess them up?

I can't speak for that commentor but from what I've seen most people who say things like that just dont want to take any responsibility. The attitude is: I do what I want today based on my immediate wants. Its maximum freedom! But I want the government to protect me from others bad behavior. And if they do try to regulate or break up a company that's giving me what I want, imma complain about it because it may interfere with my choice.

It's a combination of narcissism and lack of personal responsibility.

Edit: and that last part sounded really shitty. Maybe I need to change who I hang around so I see less of that.
