I cannot say I've ever needed to know the charge-rate mode from across the room. I can say though that I've wanted to be able to plug a device in on both the left and right depending on location and usage. I really wouldn't want to lose that functionality for this, particularly when a simple software toggle is more flexible long term anyway. 9 times out of 10 I am going to use the same charge mode at the same physical location (e.g. at home, slow, at work fast). That would be the real killer feature, geo-fenced software toggle that knows where I am and what mode I previously used here.

It’s a good point. Maybe I just really miss the little green or orange light on the MagSafe chargers. Then it was just a case of picking up the laptop and going, now I have to open it, give it a second to refresh its status, just to check. I’ve left the house a couple times with a dead laptop since getting the newer machine. Sorry for conflating two issues because I still wouldn’t know if the battery is full or not just from the different port.
