Well, for a limited resource like radio spectrum it makes sense to have some controls on its use or people would just go ahead and jam other people's signals.

That said, it would be better if they handled compliance by going after offenders rather than trying to make sure all devices are incapable of transmitting non-compliant signals.

For a start, it makes those devices useless to people who have paid to use non-public spectrum.

Wouldn't it make more sense to regulate it by simple LAW?

It's not like everyone stabs each other, even though kitchen knifes doesn't have a "no human flesh" regulatory daemon.
