Taxi's are not allowed to price gouge, they also cannot refuse you service, etc, etc. I don't see that as a bad thing.

Depends on the state. Also, the GP mentioned Malta, which isn’t the US.

They mentioned Malta but they were responding to a comment that was made in a general context. There are benefits to having a regulated taxi system. Saying that unless those benefits are realized at every single place on earth, they don't mean much.
