No, you don't understand the problem at all.
The issue is not the technology or the absolute brightness of a bulb.
The problem is that replacement bulbs have a different beam pattern and the headlight mount needs to be adjusted. That's it.
In the vast majority of cases, car headlights are blinding simply because they're aimed too high. On most(all?) vehichles there is an adjustment mechanism under the hood. Problem is it takes special tools and procedures that nobody knows or cares about.
As a sibling commenter said, we've managed to survive for the better part of a century with toggleable high beams. This isn't a complicated problem.

Adjusting headlight aim is good and should be done, but it does not solve the problem, and notably is not effective in road conditions other than smooth (bumps cause lights to go up and down), flat (inclines cause the harmful light level to change), and dry (water or ice on the ground cause reflective glare).
