HIPAA does not apply to as many entities as it probably should. These services likely avoid it by considering themselves wellness services, rather than healthcare.

I think this is the real answer. And when new tech is in a legal gray zone you go with what makes you money now, not what could be a legal battle later.

It's not. Anywhere. But the how and why it is illegal is not yet settled. It's new enough that an "entrepreneur" can throw up a bullshit smokescreen, make a pile of money, and scuttle them away before the world figures out how to apply the law correctly.

No thing AI related its legal or ilegal. Its not regulated at all.
