This present government is open to regulatory change to the benefit of British businesses and consumers. There is, however, simply no way their pronouncements can possibly be construed as meaning that all those regulations will change on day one after the transition ends.
Agreed - however, that is one of the reasons why the treaty negotiations might take longer; what time period is our Government intending, and gaining agreement about this.

The point is - it's not that simple...

You know full well what the Guvmin meant. We are no longer going to be rule takers. Out statute is what it is and can be amended if Parliament so decides.
That's a very simplistic attitude, and not attached to reality - we have to adhere to other countries product specifications (not just the EU's).
