While we can't think of governments being organised enough to be malicious about things, but I do sometimes (and very genuinely) wonder, if there's some maniacally malicious actuary sitting behind various government departments trying to squeeze every industry to maximise tax revenue and make it so people can only live by the skin of their financial teeth.

I think there are many, many of them. But they aren't necessarily colluding on it. There is alignment through the economy to maximise profit. For governments, that profit is tax revenue.
