Humans seem to be part of superorganisms like ants. Basically, we need some form of social group to survive. Those who escape the superorganism tend to take resources with them (physical like tools or intellectual like skills).
But even if the former wouldn't be true, it is becoming increasingly hard. Humans have become the dominating species of the planet. In proportion to land, oxygen in the atmosphere, and other resources we're so large that the tragedy of the commons happens in all corners.
In my view that's at least part of the reason why we're getting so much regulation. A side effect of the regulation is that it limits the freedom for other ways of life than the default of superorganism. Or simply put, I cannot just move to the forest because it's owned by someone. I cannot fish because these animals are endangered and thus protected by law etc.
