I'd argue it's simpler for governments to foster a free and competitive market than try to work against massive vertically integrated companies with tons of lobbyists and power.
Are you suggesting the US has any control over the tech giants? It's clearly not the case, most politicians talk the talk, but they take massive donations in private events and then craft legislation to favor big tech. What we need is more companies, more competition, government needs to bust up the big players and disallow M&A.
Bureaucracies don't like working with a bunch of small companies; they want to work with a few large companies with specialized departments that make it easy to get what they want. The rules and regulations are all written for large corporations with inside counsel and compliance departments, not small independent companies.
