I doubt a two-stroke would ever meet even mid-70s emissions standards.
The two-stroke's big edge is it lack of a valve train. But that means port induction/exhaust. So a port uncovers with the combustion event still going on. Unburned hydrocarbons (VOC) are emitted.
A lot of smart cookies tried to save the two-stroker but the last of them died out before Jimmy Carter was out of office.
Like everything else, engineering has a history.
