The electronic adjustment of the beams are also very important because they level the beams correctly so you do not blend oncoming traffic.

Lits, without the leveling sensors, are perfectly fine if they are meant for the low beam alone (e.g. city cars). If you are able to manually adjust them to the recommended height/aim they shouldn't blind incoming traffic. The high beam won't work indeed but still it gives the driver the impression that it does. Intensity doubles... and that seems to work for some.
I think people often buys Lit for the look - not necessarily/only for better lighting performance. Not a cheap cosmetic upgrade for sure... one guy here recently imported a set (total $2,150). He knew well what you said but wanted the "modern look in day time"... to each his own!
A retrofit of the halogen with "bi-xenon ready" projectors is the way to go. If lighting system performance is looked after anyway. Nearly 50~75% cheaper than Lits as well.... go figure
