This is one of the too-rare cases where government is doing precisely what you said they aren't doing: leveling the playing field --increasing fairness, as opposed to giving sweetheart deals. I have plenty of concerns with how my government is run and how their tax revenue is allocated, but tax avoidance is a basic problem of fairness and a problem to be solved.

From the perspective of a state, the rule of taxation is, "progressive, simple, enforceable: pick two." The US code gave up on simplicity and probably has 10% of GDP dedicated to dealing with the result. Specifically, the playing field is being leveled between nations by their colluding against competitive countries to prevent capital from leaving them when their policies become unbearable.
