From an electronic tech perspective... I've been replacing the LEDs in anything that annoys me with a dull red and a resistor valued to keep it barely visible. It's a tad more eloquent than tape. Most things don't need a led at all. I'd love to see manufacturers switch to an e paper solution with a simple "on" or "off" displayed. And I hate standby led's.
I can't imagine any device that needs a sign telling you whether is on or off.
When you look at your tv, can you tell if it's on? What about your car, your phone, your furnace, your microwave? If one needed a sign to tell them those things are on, it would be a miracle they could even use them at all.
A lot of small electronic devices without screens(which are quite common) probably need something. That said, an ultra-bright LED, especially blue, which seems to be the most annoying, is not the way to go.
If it didn't need a sign it didn't need a light.. some things need an indicator. A . 5 inch square bit of e ink is way better because it casts no light. And if a manufacturer thinks you need a light ... Then you get a light ... Need it or not. So ..
For my old TV, the RED power LED is very helpful. Sometimes its on the wrong input, and very rarely something has gone wrong and I need to unplug-replug it in to fix the display. LED saves me clicking the power button when it's already on.
It's kind of big red dot, but not bright which I'm grateful for.
I hate the fact that my NVidia Shield has no indicator to tell whether it's running at all. The first time I plugged it in it wouldn't work and I was about to return it. Turned out the HDMI cable was bad, but not being able to see if the device even received power made it a pain to trouble shoot.
If it doesn't need a sign ... It didn't need a light.
Or even just design it better. My Logitech snowball has a massively bright led that sticks out. It's about 1mm by 2mm and sticks out about .5mm. Whatever happened to a pinhole? It would serve the same visual notification but not be blinding
