The only downside I know of with the Hyundai is that their single pedal driving controller interprets US law about braking strictly and does not turn on the brake lights unless you dump the pedal, engaging the brake rotors. So either just don't use single pedal driving mode, or have faith that US drivers don't drive distracted (this is an endorsement for not using Hyundai's single pedal driving mode btw)
My wife's Ioniq 6 turns on the brake lights when it is doing regeneration braking, so you are misinformed (unless it is a recent change; hers is a 2025). I can't imagine that your version has ever been true, though.
that's great news! it looks like they started fixing this in 2023

here's some context
Also their failing ICCUs. They keep trying to fix it, but people keep reporting it's not fully solved.
This is a feature to maximize EV resale value by getting you a big cash settlement when someone rear ends you.
