Also worth mentioning is that usual pattern of unlocking the phone
involves "going past" this information and it's visible when peeking
from an application, so you are actually exposed to this information
quite often.

I would say that the statusbar design which has been the de facto
standard for quite some years has set this expectation of constantly
monitoring your battery level and networking, although one can argue
that specially the peeking function (once fully adopted) will make up
for this "loss of information".
