The federal government has grown immensely since the early 20th century due to the interpretations of the commerce clause allowing more and more federal legislation and rules to broadly be applied to essentially override state legislation.
The 10th amendment exists for a reason. The system wasn't intended for congress to even control something like this in the first place.

The reality on the ground is that most people want things like FDA and FCC at the federal level. Maybe we just need to change the constitution--which I know is technically possible but im practically it's frozen. It's like a legacy API no one wants to touch.
