The "normal" share-trader is discriminated against
The authorities always scream loudly when there is a case of insider trading, the test being that someone making money out of trades due to information they obtain which is not available to the rest of the market.
The whole action of manipulative HFT is that it is a system of trading where the people doing it have the ability, IE information which is not available to the normal retail trader
So why doesn't the authorities control the system so that it is equal and fair to all.
Ultimately it could cause the elimination of all retail traders which means that people could lose interest in investing in shares totally.
