I am in Canada. Rules, and regulations generally follow what other countries are doing.

I think that is true everywhere.

That is the business of governments. Until there is a serious risk of losing votes, it will continue.

I am 80. At 54, I thought much as you do. Politicians are stupid and incompetent, or they would have a real job. Over-regulation is what they like to do. They take advice from large companies, because large companies "know what they are doing". In fact most large companies are simply trying to cover their backsides, and they don't want to spend the money to do a proper job (look at IBM, and Microsoft, for instance). If they wanted to, they could probably stop the nonsense in a couple of months, but it is actually to their advantage to let it go on. Having said that, governments let them get away with it (although the EU is taking some baby steps to rein it in).

This is happening everywhere. In Canada, it is made worse, because governments will subsidize a company that moves to their jurisdiction. Then, it becomes a bidding war, to see who gets what.
>And this is not happening only in the IT sector.
No, it is across the whole world economy. Don't blame politicians. They are stupid, and incompetent. They are also terrified that they will step on somebodies toes, and violate their "rights". Most voters don't even understand what internet security is, and they are terrified that something bad will happen. That creates a demand that politicians "do something - anything - about it". Politicians have no idea what to do, but they won't allow "spying" to find out who is doing the bad stuff (and usually can't, or won't, take them down anyway).
FWIW, I have started using the old IBM firewall, to block large IP ranges (including Microsoft, Amazon, a large chunk of China, Russia, and the "cloud", and much of the EU - among others). That is easy, for me, because I am the only user, but the old IBM firewall is running out of power (but it seems to be working). If governments would come down hard on those who abuse the system, it would stop. If it is outside of their jurisdiction, firewall the whole country where it is coming from, until that jurisdiction looks after the problem.
It isn't going to happen...
