I'd argue it's not LED lights, but dealers taking advantage of gullible people, or people not knowing any better.
I have ridiculously bright headlights, but I have my lights pointed down. I forget where I read that the beam must fall 2.5" over 20', but on the highway, I can see new Corollas with their low beam pattern aimed up several degrees. I can already imagine a scummy salesman claiming "Look how bright our headlights are! Better visibility for your safety!”
Of course, there are trucks with their headlight lenses a whole 5 feet off the ground. Screw them, because even with properly aimed headlight beams, my rearview mirror is still in the path, so my entire cabin looks like it's daytime...

It's almost like the only way to avoid the problem is to be the problem...
