We should, but such regulations require political will, that requires a sizeable intent supporting this to manifest collectively in the electorate (aka. "the people"), that ultimately requires alot of "the people" to care.
What often gets overlooked in such debates, is the fact that the percentage of people who know enough about IT to care about these topics, is a pretty small fraction of the general populace.
Which, on the one hand, is great, because it means job security and lots of leverage when it comes to salaries. On the other hand, it means that there are probably not that many politicians who's first thought of the day is along the lines of: "Boy, I gotta get all these IT peoples votes in the next election cycle!"
