Law maker enacts legislation towards a company. The company is able to comply but instead the company pulls the service or severelyndegrades it. Then when users are pissed off the company will point to the law maker and say "they forced us to do this". The law maker then suffers the blacklash of companies service withdrawal.

Apple tried this with the EU usb c but eventually backed down. John deer tried this with right to repair. There are many cases where companies use these tactics to try and bully law makers away from regulating them and I think i know it's legal and their right to do so but I find it gross.

I don't think the law makers should be solving the "problem" this way but I also don't think pornhub should deny service from an entire state because they want an an ID check implemented.
