That’s not what a straw man is (it’s two words btw).

This is a known and often repeated trend in tech: make something under the guise of disruption, with no regard for safety or regulations. Complain that those things are a hindrance to progress and then spend billions and destroy lives permanently to eventually fix the problems when the regulators issue an ultimatum that professionals warned you about.
