Sorry but this is simply not true, I can turn my compressed air rifle to 15 ftlbs by turning one screw, don't have to open internals. I shoot HFT competitively, to maintain accuracy I need to adjust to 11.9 ftlbs. External temperature and pressure can effect this so I need to be able to adjust so I don't go over 12 ftlbs.
I have seen some spring rifles that have had different springs giving 18 ftlbs, hardly minimal.

An FAC covers an air rifle up to and including 20ft/lb. Or it certainly used to.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Yes I have a Sig Sauer P226 air pistol that Sig makes to be as similar as possible to the real thing - if I got that out anywhere in public other than the range where my son and I use it, I would expect a whole lot of trouble.
Aren't the vast majority of airgun injuries accidentally inflicted? I very rarely hear of villains tooling up with them.

Not sure about the accidentally inflicted injuries but certainly the number of people intentionally injured / killed by them is tiny.
