Why does Korea seem to always set rules in video games via government legislation instead of just the company that runs the game setting and enforcing the rules like they do in the US?
Of course the companies don't want the burden of enforcing their own rules, but why would koreans allow their government to get involved in policing video game conduct

Because generally Koreans think government, obedience and work ethic is the fix to everything. They've gone overboard. Games, hobbies, fun, friends are all a waste of time, they want to implement the talk to me when you doctor mentality at the government level.
Are you high? It's not about companies policing themselves, it's about companies enforcing their own rules in a video game. It's the governments job to enforce the law, not video game rules.

Because companies are profit driven.

Why do people in the US seem to always think that private for-profit companies will adequately police themselves?

Given how big e-sports are in Korea, I'd say it's on par with government anti-doping laws for more traditional competitions.
