My Yamaha 225 and 150 outboards came with trim gauges built into the
control display and the motor, so obviously Yamaha thinks they are of
some importance.
It is trivial to add it to a LCD display. Command link has plenty of
Gee Whiz info on that display.
Yamaha disagrees with you, in importance. Go argue with Yamaha.

Yeah, it says, "for these sea conditions, this trim sucks.".
My trim technique ... for small outboards and for 52 footers was the
same. I look at the bow angle, I look at the RPM and I look at the
speed over water. Adjust as necessary to optimize for sea conditions.
The trim gauge, (if equipped) meant nothing.
That's just too much information for Harry and his bud to process. ;-)
Home at last!
