More that LEDs enable designs and bazinga sales tactics that appeal to the lowest common demonitor of first time car buyers. The kind who think they need to invest in a potential lighthouse.
It's probably something that is very easy to fix. Like manditory adjustments of the LEDs and some sort of software update to crank down the lumens or whatever.
