"they wouldn't have simply walked away from the deal regulating it."

The deal did not 'regulate' Iran - is the argument being made.

Many people feel that the oversight requirements were not stringent enough, and that Iran would effectively pursue nukes along with economic liberalism.

This is my understanding as well, although I disagree with it. I know I'm not the first one questioning if sanctions even work most of the time, or if an economically crippled country is better for the long term health in a region known for its extremists versus one where its economy is not held back in any antagonistic manner, even if it has a nuke.

This might be true! But it was replaced with a situation where there are no requirements at all. And here we are. If you have a better policy idea you need to implement the better policy and not just take your toys and go home.
