As far as I've understood the Opera browser is aiming for the embedded marked. That's where they get paid.
The PC-versions are more like good PR-versions. They get paid (either by ads or by people who don't like ads), but I don't think they expect to be rich on the PC-version. After all they only have 1% of the browser marked (if the statistic is correct).
If that's something you really want then you should tell the Opera Developers. You can tell them on the Opera Community site http://my.opera.com/forums/
The reason I've heard is that with analog speedometers people focus on where they are going. And drive aproximatly at the speed they want.
But with digital speedometers they focus on the speed and goes aproximatly where they want.
People tend to respect the digital representation more (too much).
