You are 100% correct. And the fact that laws on the books often do not reflect the times they're in. I'm still shocked by how we haven't put into effect a national GDPR yet at the same time that Newt Gingrich's "Anti-Cell Phone Listening" law is in effect. The law was outdated before it was even ratified yet is still on the books today.

I think a bigger problem is the blindness in our tech culture to pursue that which takes away from us at scale without codifying limits or laws to enforce guard rails for when they're broken - and at a cost greater than the cost of "doing business" (like how Boeing is now facing Criminal charges for 737MAX after the Civil part has more/less gone the course).
