One viewpoint I have heard and I personally believe in:
Laws and regulations are made to protect big companies instead of small companies. If business is highly regulated, starting up an business requires big investments and fewer and fewer have enough money to do it.

Big companies have money to invest more and thus can meet the regulations easier. In Finland someone they have talked about forcing all gas stations (next to the main roads) to get electric car chargers, even though electric car market is not very big. I could imagine it'd cause crazy costs for small business owners owning a small gas station if they'd have to invest into a electric car charger - which will hardly be used at all. "Yay"
