> We already have too much regulation that for some fields it's impossible to start a business without jumping through many hoops.

> If you don't like it, you move somewhere else

These two statements contradict each other. You're asking stakeholders to change their operating model in order to avoid Etsy having to do the same. This non-existing regulation potential impacting the practice of "starting a business" isn't a necessary argument. Stakeholders are resisting decisions that are negatively impacting their business--financial and tech firms do it all the time.
