I think they're perfectly capable of enforcing it but don't care because here is no money in it and here is why:

The spent how much money on the 22 years of AirCare Inspection centres which were pretty much useless since no one was driving 1970's crap boxes any more. That would have been a pretty decent place for a quick updated pic?

We have a network of insurance brokers we all have to visit once a year to pay 2k for a 1inch sticker. We're going to be in 2021 soon and they can't figure out (or want to because brokers need to wet their beaks) how to do this online. This may also be a decent place for a quick pic from the broker?

I believe the new application you have to get the car inspected by a certified centre of some sort? Perhaps the shop can submit the report with pictures? These shops are most likely already doing claims for ICBC and are familiar with submitting pictures already, it would not be too far of a stretch to have them do this part as well?

I personally just think there is no money in it/volume is so low and that's why they don't enforce it, the infrastructure is there. They spend a heck a lot of arguing with you if they even think the car you bought is $100 below "market value" though.

I'm just an idiot talking about what if's, but whenever there is money to be made, someone will invent a system to get paid.
