You seem to think this is a step backward?
If you remember old lights you had bulbs that regularly blew, and the bulbs had to be thrown away and replaced. If you couldn't find compatible new bublbs you had to throw the whole thing away. The LEDs are not replaceable... but they hardly ever break either.
The LED lights product lasts longer, and doesn't consume bulbs. Strictly better, isn't it?
