Also, I think it's easy to misstep if we start thinking of it as a problem of "better regulators", since some of the blame lies on deeper legal-aspects around (data-)ownership, contracts, and what what happens in bankruptcies.

Even a company with great intentions may have difficulty ensuring the promises they made are kept long-term, especially if a bankruptcy court voids those promises in the name of repaying creditors.
