I guess my point is, if you're choosing between not having one or having one that only shows your numbers, what are you going to take? Yes, I'd much rather have access to a full meter but lets be honest, do you really think the chances of them making one that does the full measurements and tells you everyone's numbers are good? I don't think SE would want to risk that. This game definitely caters to both crowds and the casual crowd wouldn't like a full parser being available, obviously, they cry enough as is.
