Because the industry doesn't want to be forced to do things they don't want to do. We need less people that are tied to the industry. Ajit Pai was in my opinion one of the worst things to happen to the FCC, he was a basically a sales rep for the cellphone companies.
How dare you speak of Ashit Pie and such a manner, the horror!
The US had serious corruption problems in the 1800s, that extended through the 1960s and 1970s. (Some might say there is still a corruption problem, but it's much smaller). The US got rid of most of the problems with many years of hard work fighting it. Voters wanted to get rid of it.
The main thing to notice might be that the few are the ones who benefit from corruption, and most people dislike it. So with stability and democracy, corruption goes away naturally although over generations.
If you believe any of that you're delusional. Corruption has just gotten better at convincing you it isn't happening. Doesn't matter left, right, center.
