It's a soft cutoff, so more marketing than a real competition to a correct adjusted cutoff light.
Also the LEDs are direkt visible, increasing the visible brigness and blinding effect.

Topic is like a good webcam with low noise, sharp images and high resolution. If you use one, others have the advantage.
In case of lighting it's more a safety issue than comfort/quality.
Incoming riders with bright glaring lights gives to safety problems:
You can't exactly tell speed, position and left space on the lane towards the rider and the outer side of the way.

By the way, did you compare the pseudo-cutoff with an real cutoff light already?
