More and more "compliance" is an IT industry excuse for "because we want to."

Honest question, why would you "want to" adhere to compliance? It's almost always more work and more cost, I think.

The cost of paying fines for non compliance would be more.

Exactly, that's very different from "because we want to," it's, "because there's a very big stick over our heads if we don't."

I just thought the attitude/assertion was in discord with my own experience/understanding.
