Basted on the thumbnail, im guessing the issue is cost, and specifically for the street lamps light pollution
The main issue is that these items have a much bigger list of requirements and stakeholders than the items designed in the past. They’re trying to be everything for everyone.
Something like a simple park bench needs meet requirements for accessibility, weather resistance, vandalism, cleaning, vagrancy - plus all of the opinions of city council and people that show up to nag city council.
That's one issue he mentions but there are many others like reproducibility, safety, accessibility, efficiency, usability, etc.
