Isn’t that just litigation brought by the government instead of private citizens?

No, most of the activity or function of regulatory bodies is not litigation. Litigation would be the last resort.

Litigation is the last resort in the US system, too. It is the threat of fines/damages that incentivizes a company to do right by its customers/other stakeholders.

I never said it wasn’t. What is different in the US is a political reluctance to enact regulatory controls to protect rights proactively.
