we watched them change the rules in the US to force indexers to provide exit liquidity for the spacex IPO blunder via your dad's 401k. capturing the regulators is just part of what finance does.

Who is we and them? 1 index chose to change the rules, Nasdaq 100, and it’s in less than 1% of retirement funds.
them is nasdaq and we is us. you know this, i can tell because you said it right after you asked me.
The point is "them" was just 1 entity, and the affected "we" is a very small portion of the population who knowingly gambled on a risky index.

So...nothing really happened.
