I think there might be a cultural difference at play here. For example in western Europe or North America people trust regulations because those imply responsibility

Speak for your self, my friend. There is nothing in our current administration (USA) that I trust.
In fact, I assume for the most part the opposite is true. The Constitution of The USA is written with the premise and the for reason that government cannot be trusted.
Case and point, the administration has been singing praises to themselves about the "low unemployment" and LinkedIn Pulse (their email alerts) latest "Pulse" is "The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment" written by Jim Clifton, CEO at Gallup.
Private labs such as UL carries far more weight to me than anything the USA government can say.
I fault UNI-T in carrying false labels. This in my view is fraudulent. I think UNI-T is good enough that it has a market without falsely claiming compliance. It has a role even as a non CATx compliant meter.
I would like it better if UNI-T simply erase the label. Since in some cases, the PCB already made provision, UNI-T can print on the box "Upgradable to CATx ???V compliant by authorized service agent".
