You should not limit the options for investing that your constituents, after careful consideration, make a decision to move forward with. Everyone deserves the same choices. Why would you want to discriminate? Enforce transparency to instill good decision making.
I've been investing in "complex" securities for decades, don't tell me I don't know what is right for me and my family.
I am not a child, and am fully capable of making my own decisions about investing, just like I can buy my own house, car, and insurance. I don't need regulators telling me how to invest.

Please stop this madness!!
