Of all the Motorola Android devices that are returned, 70 percent come back because applications affect performance, Sanjay Jha, CEO of Motorola Mobility, said during a webcast presentation at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Technology conference."

Sure, but that means something better than top, not some dumb-down interface that hides all the useful information.

There is no need for people to HAVE to view this information. People who want it will always be able to have it, so instead the design needs to be focused on how can a normal person NOT have it and be OK.

If we actually had any kind of AI that might make sense.

Well I don't know if you'd consider it AI or not but we have pretty good expert systems.

It's not about hiding anything from the user. It's making a system in such a way that the components used together do not have a propensity to harm.

Again, users that want or need to see will ALWAYS BE ABLE to do so. Stop designing FOR THEM. They can HELP THEMSELVES.
