This is pretty normal? I work for a company that develops lab machines and we have a bunch of designs we have to follow:

ISO 12100 (Safety of Machinery): Sets general, fundamental principles for design, risk assessment, and reduction (Type A standard).

ISO 13849-1 (Safety-Related Parts of Control Systems): Defines performance levels and categories for safety-related components (Type B standard).

ISO 13850 Safety of machinery – Emergency stop function – Principles for design

And that's just some of them.

Companies are part of society and we have a rule-based society.

I mean, clearly the companies at the top can't be trusted to do what's in the best interests of the users. So at some point someone has to do something. If this is the correct something that remains to be seen.
