You are mistaking Stoicism with Epicureanism. Both have the regulation aspect that you mention. BUT Stoicism encourages "regulation" for attaining virtue whereas Epicureanism for attaining happiness.

For an individual, it makes sense to produce exactly as much as it needs. For a group, it makes sense if individuals feel always discontent and compelled to do more than they individually need, so there is more stuff to go around.

This seems to have link to what
@jordanbpeterson and@SamHarrisOrg discussed in London. As stoicism doesn't have art, poetry, arch. to go along with it, it doesn't spread as morality. -
Yes, because why would a true stoic care about changing others into stoics? It is not a religion.
