I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say here, but if you're implying that having lights fixed to a bike means they may get stolen, you're being a bit silly (especially since, bumpers, mufflers, etc. are not locked inside the car - and of course those items do occasionally get stolen off of cars. **** happens. - but that doesn't make those items any less useful.)

Laws written without proper cause/justification are simply bureaucracy pushed either by people/companies who stand to profit, including profits for the lawyers writing these laws (or Moms against this and that, anything to require OTHERS to take responsibility for their own children)
