In the US, legislating more control is difficult. The standard is that anything not specifically prohibited is permitted, and getting Congress to pass anything on this subject would be amazing. There are bigger fish to fry right now. It hasn't been that long ago that the FAA wouldn't even consider allowing the use of NVGs, and they're still heavily restricted. Full use by all operators is going to be a long time coming.
