If you're ever unsure about whether a proposed EU regulation may be good or bad, just look at whether Hungary supports it: if so, it's bad; if not, it might be good. Egészségére!

There a practical reason for this? like more alignment with lobbyists, for whatever financial reasons?

Over the last two decades Hungary reversed course from a democracy joining the west to an authoritarian dictatorship in bed with the Russians.

Hence, everything their government does is the opposite of what a typical European Union member would approve of.

I wonder what it would take to expel them from the EU...

It's simply not possible. EU law has no provisions for kicking a malignant country out. It was simply not foreseen. They can only decide to leave themselves. Which orban will never do because his oligarchs make billions off EU subsidies.

If it were it would have happened already.

Hungary is governed by a Russia aligned autocrat. This generally does not align with the priorities of the rest of the EU.
