I'm well aware of the implications, you either can't attack or you have disadvantage on attack, etc. But that wasn't my point though. My point was we don't know how often we will run into areas that require dark vision. If only two optional dungeons require it then not very valuable but it there are a dozen dungeons and some very important areas require it then it has much more value.
You don't know that only if you didn't play EA and didn't pay any attention to information about Act 2, that was revealed lately. There are plenty of dark places in this game.
