I was considering allies in this fight. I thought of Elon Musk but he has written off AM as an entertainment medium.
He has phased out AM radios in this cars:

HF communications is primarily used by Hams. There is still some aeronautical mobile and I haven't heard maritime mobile recently so I don't believe they will lobby for tighter rules. In addition, they operate over water, not land, so interference is not an issue, except from their own systems.

The Digital TV and FM bands are higher power line of sight modes and the modulation schemes are less susceptible to noise.

Next is the  VHF aeronautical band. It is still AM and the administrators are sensitive to interference when it affects them will. If they complain we will get some action.
