Let me ask you this: why only for Req?...
What aboud Sword Oath stacks and even FoF?...
When I see BLM's gauge having Polyglot, Paradox, Enochian, Umbral Hearts and Ice/Fire, I don't see why PLD gauge couldn't have all 3 things in theirs...

What they put on the gauge or not is a puzzle.
MCH had hotshot displayed on its gauge back in SB.
DRK has a useless Darkside timer displayed on its gauge. You also don't care about the Living Shadow timer.
But WAR doesn't when you need to check it from time to time.
It makes sense for Samurai or Dragoon to not have the timer on their gauge due to how easy it is to maintain the buffs, those are almost passive buffs.
PLD could work with Shieldtron on 2 stacks rather than an oath gauge and something more usefull displayed as the gauge.
I would also like to know their logic when it comes to what should be added or not on a gauge.
I ceraintly wouldn't be opposed. I don't really have an issue with them not being on the gauge due to FoF being a timer which I find easy to keep track of on the buff tray compared to stacks and the fact that it doesn't grant access to different actions in a way that means you could miss out on an entire attack, as much as it simply buffs them. Sword oath on the other hand has such a linear application with fewer stacks to keep track of, and the fact atonement glows on the hotbar when you have access to it makes it easier for me to realise I can still press that button. It feels like gauges exist to help you keep track of your resources and a requeiescat indicator's absense is something I've noticed due to mismanaging it meaning you either miss out on confiteor or you miss out on one or more holy spirits/circles, you're punished for going over or underboard with your magic usage while its up, so its more important. Five GCDs can sometimes be hard to keep track of in the heat of battle, and the stack indicator on the buff tray is small.
Again not saying they should stop with req if they were to expand on Paladin's gauges or the gauges of other classes, it's just that this has been an instance of something I've really felt missing while playing rather than just being a what-if.
