But why should the government should step in? Nothing of a big problem is happening. Like it all sounds bad and awful, in the end dilutes into a nothingburger and gets forgotten.

As you started the conversation, companies never face consequences so are never incentivised. I’m not saying I’m in favour of regulation but if I were to answer your question: the reason one might argue for government intervention is precisely because of your point that self-regulation has failed to incentivise.
