Game rendering is what they're talking about here. John Carmack has talked about this a bunch if you'd like to seed a google search.

In something as large as a nation's regulated medical industry, I agree that no one thing will be the whole story.

However a concrete example is the "pulling up the ladder behind you" effect of regulatory capture.

There are more people who want to become doctors than our country allows to become doctors.

Our current state of affairs regarding compulsory medical residency programs is a result of years of increasing the barriers to entry (for good or bad reasons, doesn't really matter). Now it's up to Congress to pass Medicare reform laws to update their funding for the residency programs, but that has just not happened (one of the major I-told-you-sos when dealing with government intervention).

It's probably not the case that we want to completely deregulate, however a major consequence of almost any regulatory intervention that operates on the basis of increasing credentialism is that we will end up with some % less than ideal supply.

When you said generally desirable, I assumed you meant to the general public and society at large. Absent some other very convincing information, the price of a plot of land is going to be the best analogue for how much society values that land.

Obviously the private land owner (in general) would prefer that the cost of owning land was as near zero as possible so that they could use it how they saw fit, regardless of the opportunity cost to society. And that's how it spirals into the mess we have today.

re: Footprints being a solved problem, SnapEDA/SnapMagic is a great place to start for beginners. You still want to verify, but they have metrics on how many users have used the footprint and other "trustworthiness" indicators.

re: the sealing, you may want to test the seals over a temp cycle. fully enclosed housings sometimes need a vent to prevent pressurizing the housing and, literally, blowing a gasket.
