Assuming one company's success, like Mistral AI, proves the viability of a whole regulatory system is a dangerous gamble with finite resources. It's like saying since one person found a fiver on the street, everyone should quit their job and start looking — most people will just end up with nothing to show for it after dwindling their time. Most small businesses don't have the liquidity or legal teams to navigate new rules; they're already rationing every penny just to keep the lights on. For them, every new piece of paperwork or compliance step is a costly drain on their already scarce operational budget, not a chance to innovate.
