The small motor industry broke that tradition. There are CARB compliant motors/equipment for the CA market, but if you’re not in CA or the 14 other states that adopted CARB, you can get cheaper non-CARB compliant motors/equipment. Industry decided it was more profitable to split the market.

Sure, that's because California compliant motors have equipment added to make them compliant, it's easy to continue selling those with the extra parts not installed

If you need repair equipment or parts, you'll be able to buy them from California if your state doesn't implement similar rules
