I suspect we are in the territory where “Learned Helplessness” may be a factor.
Learned helplessness: - “ Learned helplessness is a state that occurs after a person has experienced a stressful situation repeatedly. They come to believe that they are unable to control or change the situation, so they do not try — even when opportunities for change become available.”
The stressor is the mind blowingly complex regulatory system and the capricious, draconian and unfair enforcement system coupled with criminal liability as evidenced by review after review.
In other words, it is impossible to avoid breaking regulations whatever you try and do, so people give up trying to comply.
