Our democratically elected legislators make and change the rules. It's not clear to me why they should preserve the value of an asset for a few people just because the asset might go down. Especially if there's a high cost to people who don't own similar assets.

Can you help me understand why that's a good idea?

Democratically elected legislators can also choose not to make new or change existing rules. If you want to leave it to democracy, that's why we have what we do now.
