Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration? (lemmy.world)

I heal-toe, so I'm pressing the brake as I'm engine braking. But I think I've read somewhere that newer manuals actually will turn on the brake light on heavy deceleration via engine brakes, I just don't know firsthand because every very I've owned has been old as shit. Ditto with electric cars that have aggressive regen braking.
