Here's that Cambridge dictionary definition:
> a type of business that is controlled by government rules
And here's the comment that kicked off this sub-thread:
> Often the rules that require things of a company have penalties for non-compliance.

> Doesn't mean it is a regulated industry which is actually a very narrow term.
So a regulated industry is a type of business that is controlled by government rules, but (per the aforementioned comment) not all businesses which are controlled by government rules are regulated industries.
So, again, I think the response of
> That’s because restaurants are, believe it or not, also a regulated industry.
is a bizarre blend of unhelpful and rude.
Perhaps you and I will just have to agree to disagree on that point.
