To be fair, speed matters to a lot of people who actually have to be somewhere and not merely do "trips" for training. A power meter, torque or not, does not matter to when you will be somewhere or how long it took you to get there. I couldn't care less about a power meter.

You don't have to interested in "analyzing the data" to be interested in average speeds and current speed.

Just like I don't care how much power a car produces in a certain gear/and RPM. I couldn't care less. I do care about the speed (or rather the absense of it) I'm going, when I'm going to be somewhere and whether the speed is too much (more often than too little).
