This is, how the market evolved in Europe since 2009 incandescent ban. It just made the lamps more expensive, but at the end the EC statement was, they knew about this loop hole, but when the sales remain low, they do not intent to intervene anymore and leave them to serve the niches where the other sources are highly impractival or even ineffective from the environmental standpoint (very infrequently used lights,...). And the sales remained low mainly because of the cost (when these are twice as expensive as the cheapest CFLs and not much cheaper than LEDs).
