You'd be amazed at how a little regulation right-sizes things in corporations. I work in banking -- there's no grumbling about our regulatory landscape. We just have teams of people who make sure we're compliant, and we get through our audits. So, to answer your question: yes.

Why are you comparing banking regulations to tech support? The former is crucial to trust in money, governance, and societal functioning. Tech support is easily overrun and exploited by bad actors, and the upside for the company is very minimal.

The upside of good support for the company wouldn't be minimal anymore if giant and/or frequent mistakes could get them kicked out of the market, either temporarily or permanently.

What I worry about most is that human support requirements will apply to smaller companies and essentially guarantee supremacy of big tech since no startup would ever be able to disrupt them.

Smaller companies could be exempted under the rules. Start it from 20 employees or so.

The regulation would induce upside for customers.
