The EPA has required sealed everything for a while now. They've focused on non-highway engines for a couple of decades now, and started regulating them in the early Oughts. Even my two-stroke Stihl pole saw is a four stroke two stroke with valves and completely sealed.

And the associated elimination of dipsticks on road cars.

And those crazy EPA gas cans that almost ensure additional spillage.

We've wandered way off topic, but what the heck -- I bought a Stihl MS192 chainsaw about 10 years ago. It meets EPA emissions by refusing to run. The problem with it is a goofy fuel tank vent that doesn't, so fuel flow locks up. I had to revise its venting so it will start and run according to its purpose as stated in the operator's manual. I also added air vents to my fuel cans, so that I can refuel my tractor in less than an hour. I'm waiting for the Feds to seize my barbecue grill and issue me a citation.
