Not everyone has the Libra app or a crafting log. Nor is everyone at a computer where they could just alt-tab and Google it, etc. Plus, even for people who can look it up elsewhere, doing so pulls you out of the game, which is contrary to the main point of these items that are supposed to improve immersion.

So I'm glad they're going to be adding the info. (Just a little disappointed it wasn't there in the original implementation. Surely as soon as they thought of adding items you could use and get stats from, they should have anticipated that players would want to know what those stats are.)
