Bureaucracy and red tape are often written into law by Congress based on actual and theoretical damage to people and systems. To bypass them is to bypass all protections. The risk is enormous.
I guess I somewhat agree with this, but I've also seen many examples of regulations that were passed in response to a particular incident decades ago, whose other non-incident related harms were completely ignored.
Compliance costs are real, and my experience dealing with the federal bureaucracy is that they're often completely ignored.
