Advocating for a position and then using the strength of your arguments to be placed in a position of public authority through a democratic process is anything but fundamentally legitimate in a way no business will ever be.

Well there is actually an interesting political side to this, where the Biden administration set up the strongest anti-trust FTC in two generations by pulling a bait and switch on the Senate. They essentially made zero indication she would be tapped to chair the commission until after she was confirmed, which is when the tech lobby and their allies in Congress started making noise that she couldn't be impartial.
It was a galaxy brain political move early in the administration and a direct reason why we're seeing these antitrust cases prosecuted.
