What I'm trying to say is that typically, contrary to popular perception, highly regulated industries benefit monopolies and hurt startups. In fact it's not unusual for big corps to ask for regulation.

I think we both know the relationship of big corps and regulation. I just don’t know what’s the other side of that argument, “Let startups kill people” ? That’s what happened when Uber decided not to be regulated on AI. Where do you stand ?
It's very easy. Startups rarely know what they're doing or getting into, and, funny enough, that's often how a few succeed. Using your extreme example, If you don't trust that they won't kill people, then they will never save lives.
You will understand some people might not agree we should allow startups to destroy inocent bystanders lives just because sone of them might become rich.
Do you have a line ? How many people can a startup destroy ? 1 ? 10 ? 1000 ? 6000000 ?
I understand that some people are so risk-averse that context and consequences are a waste of time for them. I just find it idiotic that those who think that indiscriminate regulation is the solution to all problems are the same ones who seem surprised about the lack of successful startups in the EU
I’ll finish by grounding us in what is actually regulated. Access to education, employment, justice, health, basic societal services. Truthfulness in basic product safety claims.
But you’re right, the imaginary regulation you are against is terrible. Good thing it doesn’t exist.
