With NIS2 coming now coming into force, and the CRA being finalized, sorting out some of the threats is underway, although there are now 50 relevant EU Directives and 55 EU Regulations in force with 16 coming into force in 2023 at present count...plus an assortment of Decisions and Resolutions that all effect electronic communication mandates. Most of them have extraterritorial application. In the real world, there are many competing requirements, and as Meta recently found out, with significant adverse consequences for non-compliance. It is worth noting that while this list resides in the IETF domain, there are several hundred standards bodies - many of which are far larger, encompassing more of industry, and more relevant than the IETF. So to borrow a Clint Eastwood phrase, a venue has got to know its limitations.

IMHO, any business has no limitations in all markets as long it is legal (i.e. within market policy), so IETF Business/Work can grow only if we don't worry about limitations and don't worry about competitors within our markets/worlds. The *real world* (e.g. including markets) is trying to become real+virtual_world, so now the World is changing its work_limitations and work_structure, and it is directing toward IP technologies. So that makes other standard_bodies limited also, and that makes IETF expand.
