Culture is real.

Americans tend to be optimistic and positively inclined towards entrepreneurship. This is often refected in business practices and regulations.

The only thing those business practices and regulations reflect is that the 'entrepreneurs' get a lot of political and regulatory rights, and the people who work for them get very few.

That kind of arrangement works out very well for the former, but just because a king is doing well for himself doesn't mean that the serfs are 'positively culturally inclined towards autocracy.'

A country's regulations and politics aren't an average of its culture. They are an average of the culture of the politically powerful. All that you've demonstrated is that 'entrepreneurs' are a politically powerful group in America [1]. That says nothing about the average culture.

[1] Way less powerful than incumbents, but for some strange reason, it's not sexy to point at Comcast and Kaiser and Exxon-Mobil and Wells Fargo as examples of brilliant entrepreneurship.

Way to move the goalposts.

I haven't demonstrated anything yet. I've only asserted things.

OP is pointing out relative differences and more importantly, culture. The very concept of the "American Dream" is proof positive of that.
