It's not exactly a massive leap of logic when you look at some of the specific provisions and who they hindered the most.
"So you know the titles of your top sellers? Not up to Code!"
"But you let in Strange Tales!"
"It says no horror comicS, we're allowed to have one."
This is what's called "Bootleggers and Baptists" in political theory, where two seemingly different groups support the same policy for different reasons, often ideological and self-centered. IE, the Baptists support bans/restrictions on alcohol for moral/religious reasons, while the bootleggers do it because it gives them more business.There's an old theory in American comics that DC, Archie, and others were very deliberately rigging the Code to cut out EC - which even made it into a Simpsons comic, where the editor of "Hartley" plants horror comics at Dr Crab's lair so they'll be banned as communist.
