"We have the means and the history to prove we can onboard the general public with no exposure to cryptocurrencies, which is a goal other projects are still trying to accomplish. WE ARE AHEAD."

Truth. I was part of the general public. I didn't know anything about crypto. I heard that I could earn money posting on a young platform and thought "hey I have a laptop and some questionable opinions to share." The rest is history lol.

"Steem is currently operating in an ALT-Coin depression, while I know everyone is frustrated and wants to see that turn around it seems like a terrible time to put a bunch of regulations on a struggling economy."

Plus regulation is kind of what a lot of the crypto crowd is inspiring to escape. It seems like it might scare off potential adopters. That being said, I still don't really know much about cryptocurrency despite having almost two years on this site so I could be way off base.
