N/A
Restricting public access to downside hedges during a bear market will result in compulsory put option protection and force investors, who you fear aren't capable of managing an inverse ETF, to manage a portfolio of option hedges instead.
You will increase the average investor's risk burden this way, putting otherwise prudent investors in jeopardy.
I use both leveraged ETFs and inverse ETFs to maintain a balanced portfolio during a bear market. I want to maintain a healthy cash balance while enduring bear market volatility; leveraged ETFs allow for minimal risk exposure while minimizing losses.
Remove my access to these products and you will force me to risk more, not less.
