I would be much more in favor of reducing limits, than reducing sonar technology. I am not interested in taking home every fish I possibly can, I am out to show the kids a good time and catch fish. There is no doubt that Livescope makes locating fish easier, and by association, the odds of catching fish improves. This keeps otherwise disinterested kids, very interested in fishing. They can even read the Livescope now and watch their bites.
The age-old argument that the cost barrier of FFS leaves some anglers behind has been applied to many variables over the years. It's been said by bank-tanglers about people with boats, it was said when the first sonar came out that it was "cheating" and "elitist", it's been said about tackle (go down the bass swimbait rabbit hole sometime), on and on.
Affordability is not a factor in this conversation - someone else's economic insufficiency should not limit what I can enjoy.
