These two in particular :

> Automatic Refunds for Cancellations

> Transparency of Fees

How does a lawmaker justify this being in the publics interest ? I'm not even joking, I know "well lobbyist going to lobby", but this is a legitimate question. How does a regulatory body say "Yup, that's okay with us to remove" ?

Probably the thinking is: “The market will sort itself out. If a person doesn’t like this, they can pick an airline that has these features.”

Conveniently leaving out the thought that NONE of the other airlines will do this if it goes away.
