And the insane thing is that some (most? All?) models with it don’t light the brake lights when slowing!

TLDR : The US doesn’t have regulations on the maximal allowed deceleration before brake light activation. But the EU does.

Seem to be mostly a Hyundai/Kia thing that they are currently fixing.
