This has been shining in my eyes for the last 10 minutes whilst the bus driver takes a break.

That's still a problem, but it's not a new one. There's always been the issue that lights bright enough to see ahead reliably are also bright enough to dazzle. It's also a lot easier to cope with a quick flash, however, rather than continuous glare.
Im not sure if you've actually seen bright German LED headlights, because they are otherworldly. Older lights, even bright Xenon lights are no match for those blinding LEDs
I fully agree, there's some stupid ones out there. But they are actually less common than you initially think.
I spend far too long going up and down the motorways. I get bored and start comparing the various problematic cars. Most lack the nice clean cut off line, or it's set so high as to be invisible. I've rarely been dazzled by cars with a properly set beam dip. It's either high beams, or messed up beam dip.
It also depends a lot on the height of your car, my car is very low and the amount of times I get blinded is considerably higher than in a higher car.
Also as a sidenote, low beams on new cars seem to be just as bright as the high beams. Turning on the high beams just raises the projection, whereas it used to actually increase the brightness aswell
