Makes sense. Nonetheless, reminds me of modern washing machines. Yeah they make sense and save water but it stinks that it's a compromise and it takes twice as long to wash. With Led bulbs it's always a say a prayer situation to see if a particular bulb works with a particular dimmer and isn't a flickering mess.

Led bulbs won't even work with my garage door opener for some reason. I have to use incandescent or halogen bulbs.

Typically that’s only a problem if you buy non-dimmable bulbs. There are LEDs made specifically for dimmer switches.
