In other words, ultra-small ultra-low-overhead businesses are good for consumers.
Problem is, most places in America there's a certain baseline red tape cost that exceeds the budget of these types of operations.
In an unrestrained market environment, people can make money by eating up little inefficiencies like a swarm of ants. When you make the baseline energy cost of existence too high (e.g. with onerous incorporation or registration or licensing requirements), you kill off all the ants. Now those small but myriad inefficiencies go unconsumed, and society loses.
And the big businesses who are supposedly "anti regulation" back lobbyists who put those regulations in place, so that new competitors have a harder time entering the market
