In some ways I agree with you, insofar my other bike which I rode in my teens and twentys did not have such a device and you learnt to remember it. But if the bike is capable of providing the facility, but doesn't due to the manufacturer's warped logic then I see no reason not to use it. After all you have to alter it to stop it working so why not alter it to make it work correctly.
