Sure, something could be done. But I have a hard time agreeing with any statements that something should be done if such a scenario exists in the future.

FIRST already has price per component rules in place, how much further would you want them to go with such restrictions? How would they be defined/enforced?

If the community doesn't want something, then those people don't need to purchase the hypothetical components. Telling others to not buy something just sounds a bit ludicrous to me.
