CFLs are/were crappy for multiple reasons. The quality of light was poor among other things.

Now that prices have become more attractive, LEDs are a reasonable, albeit unnecessary, alternative.

What was rarely acknowledged was the whole push to CFLs was because the 2 or 3 mfg of CFLs spent a lot of money lobbying for the legislation. They thought they were in the catbird seat $$$ then the massive drop in price for LEDs basically leapfrogged LEDs over CFLs. They thought they were going to make a crap ton of money for a long time with the CFL market mandated and cornered.

None of the government’s fooking business.

It is always about the Benjamins well at least 95% of the time.
