A little over two decades ago, my then girlfriend was arrested for "writing malware" (which was not against the law at the time, and which was never released into the wild and never caused any damage). This set in motion a chain of events that effectively ruined her life.
Fast forward to today, and we have multi billion dollar corporations pumping out malware at breakneck speeds, compromising various systems (including those of foreign governments), and no one is getting arrested. Instead we're gawking at the marvel of these systems and are playing word games about whether or not it's a rogue system. If anything, it's making people richer.
Don't forget, the regulatory moat will also be complex enough that only existing trillion dollar companies can comply. That way they ban any new upstart domestic competition too.
Regulations to "slow down" AI are necessary so they can drop R&D expenses and finally make a profit. They can't keep these years of $100 billion of revenue on $200 billion in expenses going forever.

Make it make sense.
