Who says we need to keep going? That's not a hypothetical question - who says? Why would we do that?
I agree regulation is good, but prohibition is a type of regulation. There're also levels of prohibition - you don't need to prohibit all of it, maybe just the most obviously harmful.
Like you can ban online gambling but keep casinos if you want. I don't know, I don't have the analysis on which is worse.

Fine, but then the US has spent a terrifying amount of my money on sports and I want it all back if the point of their sophisticated pro-social spending (which strangely has to include private ventures getting handouts) is actually to extract wealth from the poor and the weak.

Why wouldn't we? If we're legally precluding people from hobbies that could harm them, there's always going to be a worst legal one.
