The information about the other positional-goods related policy (limiting the number of hours in a work week. In other words, forced spending on leisure) actually provides more reasons for ending regulations that limit the number of hours in a work week and all regulations that interfere in that regard in any other way.
There is already too much regulation on positional goods and the lack of heavier regulation on positional goods may have to do with issues involving too many regulations that already exist.
Such regulations, taxes and income redistribution may cause the most productive among us to work 1/2 or even 1/10 the number of hours they would. A majority of voters lose because of how it all causes lower productivity, fewer jobs, and fewer positive externalities from science and art and more goods and services. A majority of voters lose also because of negative externalities from government and the police state that regulations require.
