Because a large number of morons in and around the motor industry have
become attached to the idea that if some lighting is good, brighter lights
must be better.

Thy don't seem to recognise that the the current standard of lighting is
making the roads more dangerous.

Some xenon headlights, yes. But LED brakelights are not too bright. They're just too flickery. They appear the same brightness as a standard 21W brakelight bulb to me.

So why can't this pretend brightness be applied to domestic lighting? An LED lamp which currently equates to a 50W incandescent could give out what looks like 100W. If it's not done because people are more likely to notice the flicker at home, then why not have a higher pulse frequency?
