Does the SEC have a plan or just playing games?

I’m not from the US, so please forgive my ignorance if this is already widely known.
I keep following the XRP case and other SEC/crypto interactions with interest, but my main observation is the SEC appears to be going from fire to fire (often starting them themselves).
Does the SEC have a framework or blueprint for crypto and where they fit? It looks like they’re simply just picking fights to slow the adoption of crypto. It also seems like an impractical and inefficient use of public funds for no real benefit I can see.
Why can’t they instead publish a framework outlining exactly where they stand? The industry may not like their stance but unambiguous rules uniformly applied would help projects and investors to better navigate the US regulatory environment. It would also promote the advancement of the industry and the economic contributions that come with it.
Currently, they are retrospectively deciding on wrongdoing and going after people/projects at their discretion. When they do, the price tanks. If they had their house in order they’d avoid a lot of the wrongdoing and could focus on what they should actually be doing – regulating CEXs to provide consumer protection and support mass adoption. That would be far better than costing us money from decisions seemingly made on the fly (and funded by US taxpayers).
Has anyone else had similar thoughts? Have I missed something?
