I think there are underlying reasons why they did it on top of what they claim of serious economic disrupt. It might probably an impulsive statement we don't know.
They might probably doing some precautionary measures to avoid the big boom and caught them unaware as they are not ready. I am not being positive but these can be probable reasons.
When the dust settles, I am confident that they will consider BUT there will be implementing guidelines. Regulating the Unregulated.
