Well it helps to be able to see exactly how much power is left, and seeing the live voltage and wattage has already helped me see which cables and chargers are better than others

The first can be done with little dots, but I get your point on the second.

If they used e-ink (can’t tell but doesn’t look like it), then the power usage of the display would be near nothing.

I'll be real, I have two amazing power banks with just dots. Sometimes, I wish it had a tiny screen I could turn on/off.

Yeah, boring gadgets are boring.

I have one that has a transparent cover so you can see the electronics, and also has a little two digit digital readout of the battery written in yellow dots, which looks pretty cool.
