You're applying broad, long-term, and high-level reasoning to motivations that are more likely short-term and driven by simplistic incentives. Begging for regulation (and input into precisely what that regulation is) relieves competition, consolidating dependency among the established players, and spreads a very effective fear narrative that what these companies are doing will change everything and therefore they are worthy of mind-boggling capex and valuations. We have to quit seeing humanist visionaries where the evidence shows businessmen with access to the best strategy and PR counsel around.
