Lobbyists can't be the whole answer; tobacco hasn't had lack of lobbyists or lack of quality of lobbyists, but it got severely restricted.

In the end I think the answer is "because we, society, allow it.". It is very hard to lobby for things we really do not want.

Ultimately, this is the real answer. We can overcome anything if the political will exists.
