“Completely remove efficacy testing requirements, making the FDA a non-binding consumer protection and labeling agency.”
That seems to be how the supplement market works under DSHEA. Is there any evidence that stuff marketed as supplements is any better at curing disease, preventing disease, improving health, etc., than the FDA pathway?

We’ve known for decades that antioxidants don’t actually improve health, yet they are still a huge market. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17327526/
