Most regulations are there to cement monopolies and enforce use of certain products.
An honest developer or builder do not build unsafe buildings, but forcing them to use certain products or “professionals” drives up cost.
Houses built 100 years ago are still standing, they definitely don’t have the same insulation because those products didn’t exist. We had fire places and woolly jumpers.
The only regulations we need are structural and fire. Just like airbags, safety cages and brakes in a car. Everything else are optional extras.
