Heard all the same whining from anti gov peoples about the mean old govnmt mandated clean air/better fuel mileage back in the '70s/80s that resulted in doing away with the old gazz guzzling carbureted heavy pollution engines resulting in computer/FI engines that burn much cleaner.

I am on forums for Can Am Spyder three wheel motor cycles, Kawasaki KRX side by sides and now CFmoto ATV among others which all have the cat embedded in the muffler.

I couldn't agree more, my 2001 would occasionally puff a little smoke, not my favorite thing. Our 2016 Ram 3500 you can rub the inside of the tailpipe and no soot.
Kind of have to wonder if that occasional puff of little smoke compared to energy/emissions from the factories producing, packaging and shipping DEF to the stores. The factories producing the additional emissions equipment like DPF's, DEF pumps/tanks, EGR coolers/valves. The extra diesel to regen to burn off the carbon collected in the DPF. All this to eliminate that little puff of little smoke.
