So basically, the government doesn't care about the issues and doesn't plan to do anything about it.

Nah, the politicians asked around, the automaker lobbyists blamed the device, some intern-slave wrote a halfass bill, and no one cared to stop fundraising as little power prostitutes long enough to question it.

I mean, you could argue they still care about the issues, just not enough to do something more effective and difficult.

Quite possibly the latter part, at least. It's a sales job to be a politician.
