Though I like the adaptive beams, agree with your results (perhaps because we are both in New England ;-)) Volvo is really insistent about turning off high beams with street lights. Which given many of our typical secondary roads around here with "occasional" street lights makes a lot of on/off switching. But that criticism appies to the AHB in general, even in the AHB1 on/off mode you have the same issue. So I keep them enabled, it just adds more conditions where more than the low beam can be used.
I haven't had any issues annoying others (well not enough that they flash me or anything) I suspect that is why elements "fade" in when they turn on, to avoid other drivers perceiving the high beams have been engaged as an excuse for road rage lol.
The tech definitely varies widely, these ones strike me as pretty basic, only a handful of elements to play with, 6 or 8 maybe? The Pixel lights are where you get enough elements (43 IIRC) to make the shadow holes around other cars, that looks pretty neat. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNv5XHhPlVk)
