Overturning one rule and replacing it with another, isn't laissez-faire even if your just considering that one area, and even if the new rule is less restrictive. You still have regulation.

And that's just in that one specific area. If millions of other areas you still have rules. Hundreds or thousands of the rules are new rules or tighter rules.

It seems to you "laissez-faire" means something like "at least one important rule was made looser or eliminated". That's a bizarre definition that doesn't vaguely resemble the normal meaning of the term.
