> I never see regulatory bodies demand money or powers.

It happens quite often after a big failure. I've worked in government myself as a contractor and seen huge amounts of waste while completely failing what they were supposed to be doing. I left after a few months (I was asked to stay) because I was utterly disgusted by it.

Law Enforcement most certainly, but private companies that just isn't true.

Maybe if you are at some large corporation, however generally waste at large corporations I've seen is due to having to cancel projects because of situations changes e.g. I was working on a large project to that was to integrate the platform with Russia, that got cancelled for geopolitical reasons.

Most private companies aren't large corporations though and most work is done by a few super stars in the company.
