IMO: If we can agree that the regulation has a net good effect, considering externalities and adverse effects. Having a "good regulation" that also increases concentration of control in an industry can end up being a net negative.

This is a nice thing to strive for, but in practice layers of indirection and ample legal counsel accomplishes a lot even in well-run democracies (even leaving aside how large organizations often influence how they are regulated in both direct and indirect ways).
