If buyers want features, this implies a demand in the market.
If capitalism is {buyer; market; seller} then demand in the market should draw product from sellers.
The market is regulated, so wildly unsafe demands should go unmet.
But if the market is over-regulated, then an electoral feedback loop ought to trim excessive regulation so that the market can meet demand.
