I’ve not understood this and am strangely on the side of removing all deductions.
Why should anyone pay less federal tax than a person living across the border just because you pay tax to your state?
If you don’t like it and think the other state is right not to collect income tax and that state is doing better for it, then surely it’s on you and everyone who agrees to set about voting to remove your own state tax. Not to expect the federal government to give you a special deduction that the other person doesn’t get.
