QQQI vs QQQ/SCHG? Why does QQQI appear to be the better option due to market volatility and potential sideways action?

I am trying to redo my portfolio in my roth after making some amazing gains with MSTR and COIN. I am trying to find a place to stick this money for the next 25-years (checking on it quarterly) to maximize my returns. I have come across QQQI and it seems like an amazing option if the market remains volatile (Trump makes that a certainty) and just moves sideways when compared to QQQ/SCHG.

Can anyone explain why QQQI would be a bad choice? I have reviewed the VXN since 2001 and it seems to stay high enough to keep QQQI providing decent yield (10%+) without eroding the NAV.

I am trying to hedge again sideways movement in the market since current prices seem too elevated and the economy in general seems to be slowing down.
