The reasoning you describe is not the only reason people oppose market regulation. Personally, I find the idea disgusting that somebody could be imprisoned (and killed if they resist) simply for selling something to somebody else, something that the other person was happy to buy.

The idea that violence is perfectly justified just because somebody provided a shitty phone experience almost physically sickens me.

Well, it rarely leads to actual violance. But I get your point. The way I look at it is that citizens collectively own this place, so they can collectively decide on the rules. Laws and regulations are just group decision on a high level.
