There's a big difference between being priced out of a market option and the government saying you literally cannot buy it. We should all be wary of government controls like this.

You are right, I was thinking selfishly. I don't like the control governments have on tech in general. In my country government forced banks to use device attestation for banking apps. If your android phone is in developer mode banking app won't work, you can change bank but it will make no difference. I think they are also enforcing 2FA to be in the banking apps, so I can't even use web app without locked down android phone or iPhone.

Govt controls of that nature will not be tolerated by financial markets - the line must go up and to the right.
