What kind of excuse is that?

That’s like saying it would cost tens of millions of dollars to comply with health regulations in different countries when you sell foodstuff. Yes, of course!

Maybe electric automobile mfgs can just ship cars all over the world without going through safety standards too!

The question was literally "couldn't you do this without spending a ton of money?". Why isn't saying "no, it'll cost a lot of money" a valid answer?

The standard Silicon Valley Ethos excuse.

Which is what a lot of these "self-made men" have and built their careers and fortunes on.

The internet and electronic commerce needed some breathing room during its nascent period, but now that its self-sufficient and does not need these kinds of allowances to survive, it's time they get rolled in to existing oversight or the .gov rollout a new Administration/Commission, etc. to govern these new areas of the economy to ensure it's not a free for all.
