That would require regulators to actually pay attention, something they haven’t done actively since a long, long time

First step would be to prevent the regulators from profiting to begin with.

In my experience, if we don't (meaningfully) root out corruption and ineptitude, we will continue to be governed+leveraged by one/both.

Can't root it out, it's part of the system. Sortition is the best we can hope for now.
