> Quacks won’t be allowed in such regulated environments.
Presumably, however, pharmaceutical companies striving to maximize shareholder value at all costs are allowed which is probably much worse in the end.

You clearly didn’t explain what the bill is saying.
Here is a summary https://youtu.be/HgcRCKdf9qg?si=7F0saD9UDEMkgFn9

This bill was written for ALS folks. It allows them to get access to safe drugs while clinical trials continue on efficacy. These provisioned drugs/illnesses like ALS, Cancer, etc provide dying people a chance to try things they would not be able to get, even through expanded access programs.
This has little to do with quacks entering the market or cynical capitalism. The drugs must demonstrate safety already and have some scientific evidence that they are on a “promising path” to efficacy while going through later phased trials.
We live in a day and age where much of our medicine is quite safe and goes through rigorous testing. But clinicians cannot get access to these drugs until they have been EUA or approved. This process takes many years to do and people suffering from these diseases have a right to try “unproven”, promising things.
