I garentee its not actually the regulations slowing this down, this is just the industry taking advantage of American ineptitude to get regulations pealed back

Worst part os most regulations in the US hardly have teeth and have to take into consideration "profitability" of who they are regulating

It might actually be true. US bureaucracy is notoriously understaffed, while the regulatory and legal code itself is insanely complicated because it is both a common law system and decentralized.
