The fact that no one notices or cares when the regulations are broken strongly indicates the regulations have no useful effect.

I agree up to a point. It's pretty clear that regulations in certain spheres like car and food safety have largely created a culture that doesn't universally cut corners. Then again, killing off a good portion of your customer base would do the same thing I guess as no one would want to buy your products if they have a good chance of dying from them.
