They aren't ending them, though. Just prohibiting them.

It seems comically naive to expect that the population that faces virtually zero downside and has the greatest propensity for risky behavior would obey such an order.

If you expel or jail a few to make an example it would probably cow the rest.

(In case anyone isn’t certain, I do not support this line of thinking. But since authoritarianism is fashionable nowadays I fully expect it to happen)
