your critique is really about the government(s) failing to update and revise the policy, not with the enactment of original policy.
This feels like a really weird statement to me. It is highly predictably that as soon as a law is in place, that there is an incentive to use it for rent-seeking, and that abolishing a policy is reliably much harder than enacting a new policy. When putting in place legislation, the effects of your actions that I will hold you responsible for of course include the highly predictably problems that will occur when your legislation will not have been updated and revised in a long time. That’s one of the biggest limitations of legislation as a tool for solving problems!
