Politicians passing laws based on things they don't understand?

Quelle surprise.

But also:

a protection that's been in place since the 1990s

That's not necessarily a guarantee, c.f. Hyundai and Kia's lack of ignition locks.

Politicians passing laws based on things they don’t understand?

Another way of saying that is moral grandstanding, which I kind of like better. I like the imagery of grandstanding, especially when describing politicians.

That's not a thing in Canada. Our motor vehicle standards require immobilizers.

That's because you all up there in America Lite hate capitalism, freedom, democracy, eagles, and baby Jesus.

The lack of arrestors is the issue there and the company should be liable.
