You’re also completely wrong. Utilities do not get to pass on costs to specific customers. It is, at best, just a compelling point with regulators to build it into the rate case for capital spending.
So? That just means the regulators are part of the decision. If the stakeholders (regulators plus utility managers) choose to, they can do this, and it is affordable. If it takes an act of legislature to make it work, whatever.
The point is there's no technological barrier, just made up paper barriers.
