There are regulations, they are either inadequate or aren’t being applied to products or services used by regular consumers. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11062200
Also which terms? You can’t call yourself an MD, RN or an Attorney etc in US and many other countries if you aren’t one. You can’t market drugs that haven’t been approved by the FDA. Also bastardisation isn’t a justification for no regulation.



if something makes linux more secure, safer or easier to use then it’ll be hated because people in the linux community are allergic to all those things. Secure boot? they hate it, wayland? they hate it, immutability? they hate it, flatpaks/sandboxed app? they hate it, gnome? they hate it. Even rust is hated by many.
