You miss the point...it doesn't make any difference what you like or don't like...it is the overt supervision by some anonymous bureaucrat (or not so anonymous one: Mayor Blumberg, for example) or FLOUS (I hate to use that term, it is very deceptive!) that is objectionable to many of us. IOW, to the Government Nannies: keep you hands off our salt!

Where is the government connection?

Maybe they are just upgrading their salt.
They likely did taste tests and more folks liked the sea salt version.

The writer of the original post cries about government intervention
but what proof is there of that? They changed salt types.

This has to be something sinister?
