and why don't we just follow decades of conventions and add a --verbose/-v flag to display all the gobbledegook if you really want to, but hide it by default? As far as I remember, the guidance has always been "only print something if the user needs to know, no output means success."
git would be perfectly usable without knowing how many objects it has pushed or how fast it was doing so.
Because it is a progress indicator, that you stare at while waiting. Even Youtube does that and that is written for the general population.
That is exactly what one of my earliest CS teachers taught me.
No news is good news.
