Are you kidding me? No area benefits from deregulation?
Regulation in a lot of areas is put in as a protection to businesses already in the space to help alleviate competition. Is Charter/Comcast is out there pushing for deregulation so that small cities and communities can come in and setup their own cheaper broadband services, or are they fighting it tooth and nail?
Does my barber actually need a license to cut hair? Sure you could argue that the barber is technically more hygienic, but that isn’t always the case… it’s just another way to make it harder for me to open up a competing barbershop.
Regulations are made to make sure that businesses comply with the minimum safety and health rules, as well as not actively harming the consumer. So, no, no area benefits from deregulation.
Giant companies love deregulation so they can monopolize and/or fix prices.
Getting to your barber example: if I’m trying to find a barber, I will surely only look for licensed barbers, as I surely do not want a busted hair job, or to incur in any hazard. Simple as that.
Let’s be honest there are areas that would benefit from less regulation.
(Looking at you housing!)
Let’s be honest, this is simply not true. Regulation acts in favor of the weaker link, no area benefits from deregulation.

Traffic regulations make the entire system of people staying on their own side of a 4 inch paint line work.
