Because “successfully siphoned off by bureaucrats” has an implicit value judgement in it. If someone a) thinks the cost of regulation provides value and b) believes that downvoting is a reasonable response to opinions they disagree with, they’re likely to downvote in this case.
Personally I only believe one of those things. I also believe the point about additional cost of development could have been made without the value judgement.
