It doesn't hurt MY eyes and I live in a town with a lot of bikes and a lot of cyclists using front flashing lights. It just isn't a problem for me and doesn't appear to be a problem for the thousands of other drivers in town. I have no doubt from your numerous posts that flashing lights bother you, but don't presume to speak for the rest of us.

Just as an aside, I actually agree with you about the advantages of proper beam profiles. Outbound Lighting has built their entire business on this premise and now have a great many devotees.
