Swapping out a component is vastly less complex than swapping out an entire system.
I'd love to see high-density, walkable, transitable, low-distance development in more places.
That would mean rebuilding the entire urban landscape, rewrites of layers upon layers of building codes and obligations, a writeoff of a vast amount of equity within the financial system, changing patterns of habits and desires, and more. You're involving every suburban homeowner everywhere, every city, county, state/provincial, and national government. The real estate lobby. Banks. Builders. Building suppliers. Architects.
Good luck with that.
Vs. outlawing a brush.
This is pretty much an exemplar case of the difference between simple and complex problems.
