I'm saying that when it comes to regulation the sausage is mostly shaped by the same monopolists you naively assume it would protect us from.
And capital has a tendency to kill off competition you assume will just appear and magically take over.
It's not assumed, that's the objective of state: To create a sustainable and consumer-oriented market through regulation and incentives.
This is again, a feelings-based assumption. States do not behave according to this goal.

What feelings are you talking about?
It's not a feelings based assumption, it's the role of liberal democratic states determined by the basic principles of democracy. That the states do not fulfill their role is their own fault.
