Terrible idea. Maybe you could mandate it on children's bikes, but absolutely not on all bikes. Sports cyclists would murder you if you tried to do that.
There will always be a small number of people that complain.. People also complained about seat belts..
In reality, I suspect very few people would care otherwise
If you consider that on a lot of other types of races there is mandatory equipment too which changes, I don't think they'd care, provided that it affects all of them equally. At an olympic level or national level, maybe different, but otherwise, doubtful..
There are even people complaining that helmets "are less safe" right now. It's really a nothing issue once bikes have them by default
