One can't say "regarding" unless one has referred to something first.

It's not proper for someone to say, "Regarding the conventions..." as a means of introducing the conventions. If someone said, "What do you think about the conventions?" then it would be possible to respond with "regarding."
It's as silly as starting every sentence that isn't a question with "because".

Yes, but past conventions also decided it; now it is just reiterated and marketed (or downplayed.)
