There's no need to make it mandatory, it's the cheapest way OEMs have of reducing official cycle consumption and meeting CO2 restrictions.
There's a difference between universal and mandatory. CATs are universal, but if someone comes up with a better way to meet the same targets, there's nothing to stop them. The rule makers only set the limits, it's up to the engineers as to how they want to meet them.
