This thread illustrates that some people will argue over the most ridiculous stuff. It’s a battery level indicator. Who cares?
i do. Only Canapologists would not.
I think if you go back to this particular branch of the thread, you’ll find that people are either indifferent to a percentage indicator (e.g. I don’t need it) or supportive (e.g. it is nice to have or I need it). I have a foot in both camps (I don’t need it but it is nice to have). Additionally, you’ll find discussion about whether it is something a software engineering intern can meaningfully add over his lunch break, or whether hardware needs to support it.
I don’t think you’ll find anyone “apologizing” for it not being there.
I see many people who advocate for dedicated exposure comp dials. I have no interest in an exposure comp dial; I didn’t use it once in ~25,000 shots with my A7R2. Don’t care. One being there wouldn’t stop me from purchasing a canon camera, but neither would my indifference be motivated by an impulse to defend canon. It’s similar to your feelings on video, the lack of which someone could play the same “nerf” card and accuse you of being a paid shill for defending.
I think that’s your biggest disconnect. People aren’t apologizing for Canon merely because their priorities differ from your own, they just don’t see a % indicator on a battery to be compelling.
