What other kind of infantilizing laws do you purpose? Perhaps they should also make it illegal for people to interact with you if you find unpleasant? Ban small talk at checkouts?

Ban "give a tip", "donate to charity", and "buy insurance" in checkout and payment screens, yes please.

Sounds good. I see no reason why not treat all that with same distaste as say sexual harassment.
