Leveraged funds allow investors to take on a relatively cheap form of leverage without risking margin call or needing to deal with the tax implications of rolling futures or options contracts. It shouldn't be the government's job to force investors to make what they consider "safe" investments, and in the digital age investors are only a google search and an hour away from learning about the additional risks of leveraged ETFs, such as volatility drag and fees. It is unreasonable to prevent investors from using such products simply because there could be a chance that they might not understand them - that is on the part of the investor, not the regulator.
