Having a vested interest in h&s, I can't see a problem. Rather than weld a repair why not replace the part?
Even excluding manufacturing of bespoke parts, this is highly down to what the part is.
Think restoring classic cars - the cost differential between, say, replacing the front end of a classic Mini and a whole new body shell is very much in 2 different leagues, and in that example, I've picked a car for which you can actually buy a replacement bodyshell.
I guess the answer to why it's likely to be enforced rather than optional is simply that it's a danger thing. Surely when asbestos was found to be dangerous, similar stuff happened?
