I think that there is a difference between rules intended to protect consumers and those designed to protect incumbency. In many cases, such as taxi medallions and other types of business licensing, what once was designed to be a light weight way to protect the public because cumbersome and anti-competitive. These are the areas ripe for disruption.

However, regulations that still predominantly serve the public interest, such as those set out by the EPA, FDA and SEC (though not perfect) are much less open.
