> Avionics that would cost you $15-20k to put in a Cessna due to all the red tape.

A possibly good example of this: I believe that in Switzerland, small planes almost universally carry "FLARM" devices, essentially "TCAS for hobbyists", implemented through unregulated devices from a private company that people just got because they were cheap and useful. Bureaucratic regulation would have most likely killed a project like this.
