The "people" are in fact solving the problem by complaining and raising the issue. It's not as if they can climb the pole and swap out lights themselves.
Intense lights with stupid, hurtful color are a legit complaint. We know that LEDs that are too blue are a crutch to boost lumens. This is a clue that they aren't yet ready for deployment or that someone tried to save money.
Almost any new commercial construction is using LED now. Your grocery store might have swapped them into the freezer section, like mine did, and with motion sensors. We've reached a tipping point where this tech is becoming the norm, and LED prices in hardware stores are reflecting this too.
But we have to get it right.
