In fact, many allergy charities view it as badly flawed, so I don’t know who the ‘most people’ are that you are talking about.

So none of the links say that the statement is “badly flawed”. Two of them are about consultation on this labeling or in allergens in general, and two mention that the labeling is a problem because it is not required / there is no clear policy behind it.
Sure, I agree that there should be a policy about when the label is required.
Edit. most people being people without life threatening or severe allergies.
It wasn’t a quote.
In any event, people can read and decide for themselves
