This sort of thing almost (but not quite) always results in things that are no more secure, just more bureaucratic. Large companies keep building the same insecure crap they always have but can afford to hire an army of lobbyists and paper pushers to get "approval". Small innovators who could actually fix the issue are kept out by the high cost of useless paperwork. The industry stagnates at a dismal low point.
In short, prematurely regulating an industry is usually a fantastic way to strand an industry at a local maximum far below its potential.
