And so you remove the mattress from their possession, because they obviously don't need the mattress to sleep.

That's right. We have to assume that companies are always going to do whatever they can to get around regulation. The regulatory system needs to think of companies as nimble attackers in its threat model, and the system needs to be capable of responding with the same nimbleness.
The problem right now of course is that the enforcers are paid off by the corporations.
