A fair point. However, what are we optimizing for? An open/fair market, or consumer safety? Balance is key, but I'm interested in any counter proposals that do a better job.

Consumer safety is long term optimized by having competition. Multi-goal optimization is essential. Try to optimize for just one thing and you’ll quickly go off the rails as a regulator.
