If the regulations were limited to chemicals with the amount of evidence of harm that these examples have, there would be fewer people with issues.
Instead they get applied to these... and coffee, and sand, and lots of other things with very little evidence of harm, to the point that it stops being a signal of evidence of harm and starts being meaningless noise.
