There was no government mandated monopoly for any of those.

I wonder how many prospective woodworkers will abandon the hobby when
they find their first tablesaw is going to cost them $1500-$3000?

If they can get passed the cost of "proper" DC, they can probably deal

I'm surprised they haven't banned ungrounded DC hose yet, either.
