Authorities will always crack down on upstream simply for the paperwork savings. Easier to investigate and make an example of one guy than 17000.
This is why our manufacturing sector is the primary target for regulatory action. The government can nip activity in the bud by pressuring manufacturers to never "make the problematic thing at scale".
That's why if you stumble on something and are like "why hasn't anyone made this?" and you aren't an industry insider with active links to regulatory authorities, you can end up in precarious legal straits if you aren't careful. Just one more way our system is tilted toward incumbents vs. new entrants.
