How much good will that do when the government doesn’t represent the people, by design? If you live in California or Texas, you have the same number of Senators as someone who lives in Rhode Island.
Any power given to the government is worse than the power of a corporation. No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, you should be way more concerned about the power of the government. Have you seen what the government can do with its power?
How effective was the consent decree in the MS case two decades ago?
Apple can keep me from side loading apps. The government can literally reach into my bank account and take my money without any kind of trial through civil forfeiture and imminent domain. They can take away my liberty. They can actually compel me to do something.
