UK opts out of (mandatory) intelligent speed assist?

I’m having trouble understanding the logic here.

Car manufacturer providers inbuilt speed assist, which is just a warning and can ignored or turned off, people complain

Yet there are so many threads on PH asking which is the best device to warn me of the speed limits, Waze etc,

What’s the difference, neither physically restricts your speed, yet one is hated and the other welcomed and they do the same thing,

The main issues are :

1 - It doesn't work
2 - It's fking annoying
3 - It switches itself on each time you start the car
4 - It's designed to be frustrating to turn off (to meet the legislation)

1. Its does my car, the car knows where it is.
2. Many things in life are.
3. Depends upon the car, same with Start/Stop
4. Again depends upon the car. Fiat, a bit of a pain, Volvo , takes two seonds, dead easy, single with all driver assist setttings.

I've described cars that meet the new legislation. Older cars may vary.
