Bottom line is a low percentage of "off road only" equipment is used off road exclusively.

To the first point, actual racing and other track events make up an extremely small portion of ghg emissions because of small population size. In fact, I would be willing to bet the on-road transportation to and from events by participants and spectators is actually worse for the environment than the actual racing. If we don't have some sort of moderation on the cause, then we should also stop boating, computer gaming/mining, travelling, etc. The goal isn't to save the planet from us, the goal is to keep the planet in a state we are comfortable with. Being comfortable includes leisure activities IMO.
I don't disagree with the second point, but I don't think that should be on the manufacturer to police.
