The main purpose of a handle is to open a door, not look polished. Looking polished is not helpful when you're dead because you couldn't get out of that car in an emergency . So IMHO it shouldn't be surprising that they're being banned.

There are obvious ways to design a door handle which looks exactly the same, but isn't electronic.

Yes, but it is expensive.
