I agree on the surface, this line of reasoning does track.

More regulation = more complexity = more weight

More regulation = more complexity = higher cost

If you could weigh a house it’d probably be heavier too ;P

Both cars and houses have certainly inflated in size over time. But both are almost certainly not due solely to increased regulation.
