The thousands of small businesses. The fishing industry. Farmers.
Exactly. Businesses. And referring to them as small business is an emotive argument. Unless you are saying that rules stop applying to businesses when they get large enough. And all businesses prioritise their own profit margins over other people's concerns. They have to in order to compete and survive. For example, take the fishing industry, if it wasn't for EU regulation of waters shared between us and Europe then the fishing stock would have collapsed by now. It's a classic case of the tragedy of the commons.
