For sure. I hate excessive regulation, but if companies keep poisoning the well, action has to be taken

The problem is that "excessive regulation" often means "regulations that inconvenience me". Often regulations are put in place to help somebody else, and they are met with wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Some regulations help me. I'm glad I don't have to sort through all the pipes to find lead free ones. However some hurt me - I know very well how to do electric work and so having to hire an electrician costs me money I don't have (as opposed to an inspector who is much cheaper since they only verify I did the work right).

This isn't excessive at all. Making it easy to unsubscribe from things is totally reasonable to regulate in any world.
