Instead of having a barrier to entry for unlimited day trading be $25K with the PDT rule, why not replace it with a risk management test?

Just because a person has $25K in their account does not mean they are competent in risk management and won’t be stupid with it. The pattern day trading rule does nothing but prevent lower class and middle class people from being able to have unlimited day trades and does not even prevent the stupidity it was meant to after it was passed after the dotcom bubble.
