Sorry, I'm disagreeing with you on the 2nd point. We have the rights to sue someone / some entity based on the laws that govern contracts, negligence, etc. that give us the right to sue and have redress in court. We don't have the right to sue anyone or anything for whatever random reason we come up with. Lawsuits are a genuine cost to the legal system (look at the backlog of cases and how often people have to settle to get any resolution) and a question is whether the laws we put in place adequately take into account the cost they create in people suing each other and the behaviors that incentivizes. There are notable differences in the behavior of the people of a country that can be attributable to what expectation of lawsuit risk there is. The US is on the more "people frequently sued" side of that scale. Of course, there are many benefits to the right to sue that many people in less "sue-happy" countries do not enjoy. It provides a method of oversight at the person-level, transparency, etc. But it also can rise to the level of being a drag on society and industry. On a more mundane dimension, this is related to what some conservatives offhandedly (and probably not really with knowledge of what they're talking about) refer to as "trial lawyers getting rich". When laws you create don't anticipate that they also create the right to sue, and the implications of enabling people to do that.
