You could say the same thing about almost any gauge or meter. Your speedometer only reads your instantaneous speed but we all us that all the time. I had a rented Buick once that had an instantaneous mpg gauge and it came in quite handy.

I'd prefer that to the practically useless bar graph that I never use.
