I get that it's valuable information, I'm just not entirely convinced it's such a massive loss. For everyday driving, as you say, it's important not to stress the engine when cold but 95% of drivers won't be stressing the engine even when it's up to temperature. The remaining 5% should know enough about mechanics to ease the engine in for the first 15 minutes- or so you would hope. As westphone said, he'd be concerned if the needle moved off centre, a warning light can easily replace that information. I don't know if there is one but I wouldn't be surprised.
