As somehow who has experience with how govt regulation is enforced let me tell you, no lobby is more powerful in washington than small businesses. So many exemptions and tax breaks are facilitated to keep them afloat and any change that happens must be done to benefit them in some way, at least rhetorically.

Amazon accepted a higher minimum wage only after it's workers agitated and organized for higher wages themselves. Of course now that they are paying higher wages they don't want competitors to be paying lower wages and possibly greater profits.
