Yes, this is a huge problem as well. The lights are so bright, randomly mounted, and as you say, the user can just strobe them if they like. Imagine if car lights were as unregulated.
I bicycle a lot and I tell other cyclist that they need to adjust their lights all the time. At least they seem to take feedback. Somehow, drivers think that they, in their multi-ton metal boxes are a band apart, and tend to take zero criticism from anyone outside of their metal boxes.
No, one is actually unregulated, and the other is imperfectly regulated.

I can't imagine, with such a homogenising, negative attitude towards a group comprising millions of people, why they might not listen to you.
