Yeah, agreed that reducing concussion is definitely a good thing. Especially strict rules around return to play after concussion cause that's when you can really do damage.
My problem is that scientists can say: "CTE is a problem in the NFL." And then the NFL can say "we are addressing it by offering goofy helmet coverings, reducing punt return collision speed, and using better protocols for post concussion". Then no one is pointing out that none of those changes address CTE at all, and the NFL knows that. In reality, reducing CTE would involve changing the sport in ways that the fans would not like.
I think you've pretty sussinctly explained exactly why they are doing what they are doing
