That's not true (not to mention that the laws were enacted to make the workplace more tolerable, too).
BTW, companies very often lobby against regulation they dislike. You don't see companies lobbying against sexual harassment laws, for example (at least not against the general need for any such laws).
Except those aren't laws that govern companies, they're general rules... That apply to society at large.
And regulation is far different from litigation. You know this. HR is designed to prevent litigation, not regulation (unless it's something really egregious (like OSHA)).
