This will be a fairly contentious opinion, but I believe if there exists a class of business that is recognizably harmful to that level, which we only keep around so as to prevent criminal alternatives, then such businesses should be replaced by government run services.

In fact, I personally believe this scenario is likely the most essential use for government run services.

I don’t agree with your secondary point, but I agree so much with your primary point that my inner monologue was screaming “just say government, it’s okay, you’re correct and we all know this is where this is heading” as I was reading it.
