Maybe I’m missing something, but why are they? If it’s public money where’s the profit (the reason everyone else lobbied for it) in doing minimum-possible-effort?
In my experience, a lot of these politics are purely performative. Politicians get elected on the promise of ‘reducing regulations’ to ‘release the economy’, without any connection to reality. In office they than have to do something that looks like the thing they fought for. We’ve seen the same after Brexit. The ‘bad and idiotic’ EU regulations were dropped and untreated sewage was let into the sea.
