Then don't. Pretty simple solution.
Some of us disagree with you and it's great to have options. And it's crazy stupid to have weak lights on rural roads if you want to live to a ripe old age.
Being that a cyclist is more vulnerable than a car, then it's even more appropriate to have lighting equivalent to other vehicles. So far, I have had nothing but positive comments from drivers and law enforcement officers about my lights.
