Legislation is a potential actual solution.

This I have to address separately (I should have addressed it in the first comment but I straight forgot it in my haste to respond to the first half).

No, this is not more likely. For most of the world, this is way, way less likely. The vast majority of the world's population does not have good government. Our headlines have been making that clear for decades now. If you are lucky enough to live in Scandinavia, you might get this. There is an outside chance it could happen in the EU, but I wouldn't bet on it. Anywhere else? Highly unlikely.

In the US, where most of us are from, this isn't happening. For one, we pass next to no new legislation now. We haven't in over ten years. The Dems could potentially do something pro-consumer but the Repubs would never allow them to get a legislative victory. More importantly, all of them are only motivated by whoever is contributing the most to their reelection efforts. Considering there are really no, powerful lobbies or PACs that represent plain old people, I just don't see this ever getting on anyone's agenda, ever.

Beyond that, while we certainly do need more financial regulation, is this the kind of shit we really want our government micromanaging? This is a nuanced discussion I'm not going to have in comments but I have to say, even if we could get the government to care about our TVs, I have to say I'd be keenly interested in exactly how they decided to approach it. There are certainly ways they could do it, but there are just as many that I'd consider to be government overreach.
