I believe the word is Recidivism.
We should probably not let the companies get as big as they did so that when/if they do fail they don't threaten to take down the nation's economy or fiscally endanger the millions of people. Not that people aren't fully capable of doing that them selves.

But then when you hear talks of limiting and controlling things like that you get screams of too much government, more deregulation..

So politics come into play...
