Let's not talk about less or more. Let's just focus - for now - on who and what is. The point is, we are where we are. What got us there?
That is, it's not a matter of less regulation or more. It's a matter of we have some form of regulation and that favors some and not the other. That's not a judgement. It's a statement of fact.
The point being, too often we assume legislation / policy is neutral / agnoagnostic. That's a false assumption.
In short...whether less or more, legislation / policy is a thumb on the scale for someone, somewhere, somehow.
