Only fools think the government is going to save them from corporate abuses, because they're in league. Half the time the government is the one forcing them to do it.
I'll care about protecting consumers once I figure out how to protect myself. Consumer products are an optimization algorithm where people get what they're willing to tolerate. You can either profit off it or build something better. I don't have a whole lot of respect for people who try to impose their will on the world through purely political means.
