I agree with what you said about gasoline cars, however they don't put out soot like diesels do. Also, the emissions are different on diesel than gasoline cars. EPA does not look at them in the same way.
Diesels have always been subjected to more emission standards than gasoline cars.
Remember the brief period when no diesel cars were sold in US back in the 90's?
Mercedes discontinued diesels starting with MY2000 till... (I can't remember exactly) maybe 2004-2005. Couldn't meet pollution requirements.
CARB states are the worst in this regard.
While different brand diesel were sold in the rest of the country, CA and a few other states did not get them.
