The things mega corporations built could be even more valuable (for society) if they didn't intentionally restrict for their own and their shareholders' benefit what you can do with them.

"Regulating" also doesn't mean "taking control".

>shareholders' benefit

Since they are public companies the shareholder's benefit is to society's benefit.

Technically true, but if the regulations are just suggestions then they won't accomplish anything. When people suggest regulation they want to control how these companies are acting, not just sending them a strongly worded letter.
