I read their argument as against over-regulation, regulatory capture, and regulation moats like the ones Facebook is advocating for. An easier thing to imagine is if you got the regulations you wanted in place but at the end of the day they’re just preventing a thing you don’t like because it’s “new to you” and your business. Now if a startup wanted to come along and use what Etsy is doing _up front_ as part of its business mode it can’t, even if people don’t mind because they knew what they were getting.
