The positive static charge on the surface of an object is produced by the relative lack of electrons in the atoms on the surface of the object, relative to the number of protons. Neutralizing that positive static charge with negative ions would increase the number of electrons in the atoms on the surface of the object - so there would actually be less "free electrons" available for whatever.

Besides, even if "extra electrons" could somehow be employed for electronic circuits, it doesn't explain why ionizing CDs, LPs, and cables works.
