I think it's difficult to argue that JAA/EASA *hasn't* caused any problems. Disregarding flight crew licensing for a moment and the Annex I/Annex II issues (and the fight for the IMC rating...?), what about maintenance? What about training organisation/intructor approvals? Has any of this not come with both a headache and a financial cost?
You could make a very strong case that the sheer amount of effort spent on understanding, adapting to, and negotiating about JAR and EASA regulations has been damaging to recreational aviation. Just think what might have happened if all that effort had instead been spent on developing airfields, promoting flying to the public, designing new aeroplanes...
(Or just, frankly, going flying!)
