I really can't believe there's anyone left who thinks deregulation solves anything. Everywhere it's tried it is a demonstrable failure. It's just an excuse for an uptick in profits at the expense of safety, the environment, etc.
Safety regulations are written in blood. They exist because people died because the industries could not and cannot be trusted to regulate themselves.
The most generous interpretation is that people conflate regulation with rent-seeking. These are two entirely different things.
