If it is the job of a regulator to check and ensure a certain thing is running smoothly and it is.

The job of a regulator is not to check and ensure that something runs smoothly. Its to check that someone or everyone is complying with regulation X that there department is assigned to enforce. If regulation X is based on bad idea Y, then they then the country might be better off if the regulators were paid to do nothing. If regulation X is based on good idea Z, but is no good at actually achieving the idea behind Z then the regulators might be very efficient at producing X, but X is relatively useless.

A lot of the blame for problems like this should be put on congress not the regulatory agencies. If congress passes unclear, or useless, or even contradictory laws that isn't the fault of the agencies entrusted with enforcing the laws.
