It's a bit soon to say that, eh? This law just passed. And, as the other commentator says, connections to friends and family also weigh into the decision. And since people are not actually totally rational, utility-maximizing, spock-like agents, sometimes they choose things based on those "soft" factors. Which is totally fine.

But if the State pushes far enough, and hard enough, people will eventually lash out and strike back in one form or another. I think the historical record shows that quite clearly. No "objectivist fantasy" (whatever that is) needed.
