Well, since a display on optics has already appeared, then you need to use its functionality to the maximum.
To work with a tripod, I can well imagine information such as ..
- Focusing distance (basic infa)
– The near limit of acceptable sharpness (additional information)
– Far limit of acceptable sharpness (additional information)
– Hyperfocal distance (additional information)
– General depth of field (additional information)
– weather forecast and recipes (alternative information)

other lenses have had such a display for many years

There is that is ... I saw them on Zeiss. They just display the same thing as the usual window of any other lens. It's like installing a display on the bumper of a car to display a license plate. It seems to me that if technologies are already being introduced, then the potential must be fully used, and not just “highlighting”.
