It's a shame this is downvoted. It doesn't make it right, but it is true.

Until the regulation actually gets enforced so that everyone is on a level playing field and does not do such things, you will be at a disadvantage if you're the only one to comply, so the winning strategy is to not comply and engage in such practices just like your competitors do.

"need" is the wrong word for this. And the comment doesn't talk about it as a prisoner's dilemma, it says "need" unconditionally. The downvotes are not sad.

I wish I had a nickel for all the downvotes I’ve earned for describing things as they are
