Will increase the utility of decentralized exchanges like Uniswap and DeFi in general. The more CEX gets regulated the less people will want / need to use them.

Yep, that's what people don't understand, you can ban centralized entities as much as you want, but you can't stop people from running arbitrary code on their devices which means it's impossible to shutdown a properly decentralized network.
