I guess it depends on whether or not you think that an airline killing a plane full of people because they skimped on safety is just the "cost of innovation". Surely you can see how some people may think it would be better to have regulations about safety beforehand that airlines have to comply with, rather than letting them do whatever they want until they kill people, right? To me, regulation makes a lot more sense than just hoping for the best from people who care about profit above all else.
