I think this is probably one of the things the government can do that is unambiguously good and will touch the lives of many, many Americans. It's also an example of a market failure where there is no market for the product or service demanded.
It's not clear to me what evidence you'd use to show that this was unambiguously good, given that Americans have had the option to buy TVs with this feature for a long time, and mostly don't bother. To me, this would suggest that the assertion that it's an unambiguous good is at least questionable: if it's not worth a few extra dollars, how do we measure "good"?
