Why No Washer Fluid Indicator in US?

For some reason Acura chose not to put a windshield washer fluid level indicator in the MID in the US cars, while the Canadian models have it. It would have been a nice feature to have. Any idea why we're being deprived?

True. Some features have been cut due to $$$. Meanwhile, Canadian doesn't have XM and some other features, vice versa. Originally in Sep., I thought we have auto-on-headlight (some of ppl don't like it) and TSX-like turning light over the back of the mirrors.

I really like having the window washer fluid indicator. In fact, during a bad winter,
here in Pittsburgh, its an important safety feature. I had this on my RX-7 then
I was very disappointed to see that my Maxima did not have it. Once you've come
to rely on the indicator, you feel a loss when it is not there.
