Right, setting or rising sun vision issues are "easy to mitigate", except when they are not.
Apparently you are not disturbed by the reality that motorists don't always do what you think they "should" do, and a cyclist who finds themselves in an obviously hazardous condition should just make pretend it is easily mitigated by ignoring it.
Your recommended advice to cyclists who must travel in those conditions apparently is to mitigate their own risk by counting on some sort of A&S mantra that motorists "should" stop driving regardless if the motorists also must travel on the same road at the same time for the same reasons as the cyclist.
