In Apple's case it's a subtle encouragement to buy their watch.
I don’t believe the iPhone ever had an LED notification light. The iPhone existed well before the watch did, as well.
I shouldn't have doubted Apple's campaign for minimalism > functionality
It never did, indeed. However, there's an accessibility function to use the flashlight like an old school LED.
