Sealed Beam Headlights

Yeah, lets install ridiculously bright headlamps so we can blind everyone coming towards us (even on low beam)

Where'd someone suggest that? Good headlamps put light where you need it and, on low beam, keep it out of other drivers' eyes. Lousy headlamps don't do one and/or the other of those things.

and get our cars wrecked when the oncoming traffic can't see anything... This trend has gotten way out of hand.

Speaking as the guy who wrote the (literal 38,500-word) book on the subject of headlight glare: you're right, it has. And I still don't see how that's relevant to this thread.
