I make a transaction. Item arrives. Money presumably arrives for vendor. Everybody is happy.
Then, out of nowhere, PayPal opens a complaint on my behalf. The vendor is confused, why did I complain? I didn't, but there's no way to enter that into the automated complaint form. I could not reach a real person, and in the end the vendor got a ding and I got money back that I didn't want for a product I had received successfully and that I was happy with. No way to cancel this kafkaesque nonsense in any way.
I never used PayPal again.

This "why don't we have reasonable and sensible and productive discussion and laws instead" argument is hilarious - because we don't have reasonable and sensible and productive discussion and laws in this country. So we're using the only tools we have.

It's downhill from there.
Then why doesn't the Paleo diet help a vast number of people lose weight? (It does help with some other problems, but does not seem to be a panacea for fat loss, if it helps at all.)
