It's a tool. Without the warning you can add up the approximate weight of passengers and luggage, and check it's below the maximum. I'd like to think this is done as a matter of course.

I'm not sure what you're responding to, but AoA indicators have very little to do with weight and balance.

Fuel loads, critical airspeeds, and maneuvering characteristics are indeed governed by weight and balance. That has nothing to do with AoA reading mismatch indicators.

Was there a separate question about automatic weight and balance measurement as a feature?
