Non-blinding headlights already exist. Modern projection headlights can map where the light ends up on the road to illuminate your path while avoiding oncoming traffic. It just isn't widely adopted (in the US at least) as of yet.
Or bicyclists or pedestrians. We have all of automotive histroy to demonstrate that blinding others isn't necessary for driving, not even for comfort-level safety gains.
Better -something- that's trying to mask low beams than the alternative (nothing).
The technology is required on some types of headlights (which you can recognise), because…

…they also made low beams notably brighter and reach further (= extended the angular output). The alternative isn't nothing, it's less bright low beams.
On country roads, it’s extremely valuable for keeping the shoulder lit up with high beams to see things like fear and bicycle.
It is my experience that bicyclists and pedestrians aren't partial to the endless passing vehicles that are blinding them. Seeing is part of how they keep out of drivers way. I disagree that we should ruin their vision just so drivers can seem them even more than they used to.
Ask any EU trucker about this and they will curse you out with the most creative expletives you have heard in your life. At least the existing systems are apparently hot garbage, especially on highways where some oncoming truck headlights might be hidden by the median yet you can still blind the trucker themselves (since they're higher up).
