The hilarious bit is how confident they all are about people wanting SFH development, yet refuse to legalize everything else.

Imagine banning every android device from the US, while also proclaiming that no one would've purchased android anyway, because Apple is so popular. Apple is good because they compete and then win.

If SFH demand is so high, surely legalizing vertical development would be no big deal, just like android still struggles to gain adoption in the US.

Last I heard, Android has about 50% marketshare in the US. That's pretty far from "struggling to gain adoption". It's not winning, but it's not losing either, it's a tie.
