Drug development is a conservative industry.

Drug development is a conservative industry. Even with researchers/companies/FDA all doing their best to develop good treatments, there are still many drug failures due to efficacy or safety. Being more lassiez faire is going to lead to direct harm of some patients. Is it a worthwhile tradeoff vs potentially addressing some unmet need is a tough calculus.
