As an alternative, government regulates all sorts of things. Alcohol, gambling, cigarettes, firearms.

The government is the counterweight to corporations abusing people that might not be able to resist and the VERY negative societal impacts this has.

The fact you think this is unnecessary makes you very fortunate that you never had to deal with the negative externalities of these companies.
