If it's not useful to _you_ does not mean it's not useful to someone else.

- N8 breathing light is very useful.

- if the led on N9 isn't why have one for the charging even. Seems like a waste.

- led on a dimmed room is very noticeable. I sometimes keep my N9 on a shelf, and although I can't see the led to the other side of the room during the daytime, I can see it even to the other room in the evening and night.
