Is this a side effect of impossible regulations put in place by bureaucrats with no technical background whatsoever?

The same ones that declared everyone will be driving EVs by 2030.

The regulations are very possible, proven by the "meet the emisions regulations" mode that then gets turned off during normal operation.
