Sadly things take so long because democratic rule of law law "has to" work slowly (you would not want "innocent" businesses closed overnight or citizens arrested because of allegations). It's not great, obviously, and both false positives and negatives happen.
The issue is that people and companies exploit it, "better ask for forgiveness than permission", and after years they clean up evidence, their CEOs say they "don't remember", and even if they get fined - it's too late and will not save destroyed, monopolized market. All those gig economy "disruptors" are the worst, but probably all the biggest companies do this.
I wish that there could be a possibility of a retribution payment - a monopolistic payment destroyed an $xyz bln competitor? They need to pay this amount of money, maybe to some publicly owned alternative/open source competition if it's too late.
