It is not as simple as you make it out to be.

I applaud the efforts. The required changes are mainly to older refineries. Many already contain low enough levels of sulfur in the gasoline they produce. This move is mainly to bring all refineries to the same level.

Gasoline and diesel engines of today are far cleaner than just 20 years ago. Basins such as Los Angeles and Denver are far cleaner for these efforts. The billions spent in cleaner fuels and vehicles is offset by the billions saved in healthcare.
