Ok, this is a very good question.
Thinking about it, I cannot think of any area I know about that is regulated, as a baseline, too much for my taste.
BUT:
E.g. 2 years ago I thought that the logs of my app (whiĉh is SOX-relevant - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbanes%E2%80%93Oxley_Act ) weren't nice, so after talking to the other team members I slightly changed them to e.g. align strings (using tabs instead of fixed chars) and posting more informative/detailed messages.
When the auditors performed their review they saw that the new logs did not match the old ones (aaargh - string mismatch!!!) therefore we had to go over each change, checking why-it-was-done-by-whom-based_on_which_request_and_did_it_get_the_approval_to_go_live_and_was_it_reviewed_and_signed_off_by_business_after_go_live etc..., so an infinite pain. This is what over-regulation means technically for me :)
