Anecdotes are not why the regulation would exist. The majority of people can do things the right way, but it's always the outliers and bad (lazy?) actors for which the regulation needs to exist for.

Regulations may only exist to avoid the "wrong way", they must not be there to impede a "right way". It is illegitimate to fight the "right way".

Regulation exists to prevent doing things the bad way, not to prevent doing things altogether.

Everything will be banned once someone does it the bad way, because there aren't enough resources to determine each case on an individual basis.
