Very seldom do regulations expand on personal freedoms.

Regulations are usually done because people abuse things. Maybe not you, and not everybody, just the few who ruin it for all of us.

They aren't done just to give a bureaucrat a job or impinge on your freedoms.

There I differ with you greatly, I believe many do exist solely to maintain a job for a petty beauracrat who wants to appear to be doing something meaningful.
Many are nothing more than pandering to special interest groups who wave a little money at whatever politician needs to look toward reelection next. When they come from agencies instead of politicians, one must ask who is running the agency? Ag for example looking at moving to farm country instead of being a DC swamp denizen is a perfect example, the agriculture dept can best be run by the folks that have a lifetime of involvement in it, not by the recent college grad from a major city that never in their life saw corn that wasn't in a can.
