Could someone explain the thinking behind making your taillights, turn signals and, particularly, your brake lights harder to see?

If done right they are still within the standards for visibility.

Agreed. Any bit of glare in the eyes of the person behind you and they won't see your brake lights when they're that dim. A set of HD tails is much cheaper and easier than an accident...
