Maybe it would make more sense (commercially) to introduce such system in a country where 2-stroke motorcycles have been mostly relegated to leisure, where enthusiasts tend to be more supportive to such experiences. Had some countries such as Colombia never banned the registry of new 2-stroke motorcycles in 2008 IIRC, I'm sure some of those die-hard 2-stroke enthusiasts would rather be OK with direct injection instead of a mandated switch to a 4-stroke.

That there would likely have been a much better business model.
(It does nothing for the worldwide problem mind you; just for bottom lines)
But if Big Oil,
knowing that 68% of fuel is burnt overcoming inertia, wants to sell more oil by banning 2-strokes = making vehicles heavier;
then you're 'farting against thunder' with any
clean 2-stroke tech.
