Laws are created all the time to create a competitive advantage for companies. Disney’s special tax district in Florida, industry cities like Emeryville and Vernon in California, tax credits for films, lax usury laws in South Dakota and Delaware for credit card banks, and the list goes on and on. It’s a reason, a common one, even if you don’t like it.

I'm not saying I don't like it :-) This isn't describing the same sort of thing as that.

To give an example, it would be like legislating that companies switch to email from postal mail because it's a competitive advantage to do so. I'm saying that that isn't a valid (or necessary) use of legislation. Companies will use email anyway to give themselves a competitive advantage.
