It's not even good light, either. It's really narrow band light that isn't natural, and so is really bad for fast object recognition and is blinding and glare.
Like using a laser pointer to illuminate stuff, it's just gonna blind you and not really make it easier to see.
And it fucks up your ability to see outside of that light source, like having a really bright monitor in a dark room that you ALSO need to see.
There's a good video explanation somewhere.....
I think this was the one https://youtu.be/Uq7pfrognGM
But it also doesn't even take into account all the other stupid design issues.

And
It's basically just dumbass advertising and dumbass ignorant people buying into it. Like computer monitor tech when "hd" became a thing or refresh rate on lcds and companies playing fuckfuck number games advertising the biggest number they can. Or speaker companies advertising cheap garbage by how loud it can technically get but it actually sounds like absolute garbage and pisses everybody off when you blast your cheap piss everywhere. I fucking hate these shitty headlights so goddamn much.
Like if would be one thing if it was perfect light and was just bad for ecosystems at night. But no, it's like the loudest, screechiest bullshit screaming light that blinds everybody for no fucking reason AND DOESN'T EVEN MAKE IT EASIER TO SEE FOR THE USER because now you have to also have (you don't have to have) these shields that bar off the top edges of the lights to not blind other people, but now you have this massive contrast edge between shitty blinding light where your object recognition is ass, and DEAD BLACK UNLIT AREA which.... To make matters fucking worse, encourages the user TO TURN ON THEIR HIGH BEAMS FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK!!!!!
