I think this is unfair. Clearly, sometimes it's about lowering the bar. Or rationalizing the bar. But not always. I know that in one area in which I work (security breach notification laws) the impacted industries really do just want uniformity above all else, although certainly wouldn't mind if they could pare back some of the loopier state laws (i.e., Illinois, which is extremely overzealous in its notification - you know you've overshot your mark when businesses are holding out California as a better model of balancing interests).
