Pretty much all "safety regulations" were put there and lobbied by the top corporations.
Compliance is burdensome and expensive. This benefits the top corporations who plan for these regulations, and in turn, it squashes out the competition who can't afford to comply.
Another reason these regulations are put in place is to spur the emergence of alternative technologies, pretty much all of which the politicians invest heavily in.
The very last thing top corporations want is a free and open market place in which competition can easily dethrone them; regulation is one powerful way they can maintain control. It's a myth to believe that corporations hate regulation, they thrive on it.
Listen, the government doesn't give a fuck about your safety. It's about money and it always has been.
You'd think "entrepreneurs" would see this.
