I think this is becoming more common now that eBikes are becoming more popular; many of them come with built-in headlights, and are used by many people who wouldn't previously have even added headlights to their bikes - if they had bikes. With these riders, a little gentle education might go a long way.

This is mostly speculation, but on my MUP (where the wife and I walk on weekends - I rarely ride it) I have noticed more people on eBikes with headlights on during the day.
