idk, I kind of like it as is because it encourages you to actually scan the environment yourself instead of just letting the game tell you everything. It's a nice opportunity to appreciate the smaller details of the environmental design and art.
I kind of like it too. You have to actively look at your surroundings, but of course it shouldn't be abused. I like it for things like potions for example. They are easily recognizable if you take a look around you. Or for objects on a desk/table/bookcase.
What drives me insane is tooltipped objects with no highlight. The tooltip is placed in a way that makes it very difficult to spot the object. I find it very misleading.
