I think the FAR can be justifiably modified to only exempt airplanes

But not all aircraft are required to have a transponder in all categories of
airspace...
Sure.. all AIRPLANES with electrical generating systems should have a
transponder, but not all AIRCRAFT have electrical generating systems. Even
ones built today, sort of a Catch-22.
