> If the only thing they did wrong was "failing to comply with regulations", then maybe those regulations are wrong.

Tell that to a judge. You sound like you are 14 years old. If you run a business, you should follow the laws of the nation the best you can since employees, investors, partners, and customers all depend on you.

Like Uber doesn't? Obeying a dumb law might make your position more stable, but it eliminates the enormous potential return on choosing to behave outside the norm.

Laws are just incentive structures, and subject to the same risk analysis as everything else.
