One of the advantages of going LAA is cost, but in reality, many aircraft are forced to go LAA rather than C of A due to being orphaned or they are experimental in some way.
What advantage does certified equipment actually have? Is it really a quality guarentee? What is the evidence?
Can it not instead be left to a minimum spec, engineers and inspectors to provide quality control, then pilots / owners to do their own risk assessment as to whether their plane is safe / capable in the conditions? If you want the extra checks, you pay for them an amount which is probably larger for an initial assessment, then a slightly higher ongoing permit amount.
Is this really that hard?
