Not really moot. There's a difference between looking at a map, using Sense Heading, /loc and landmarks to determine where you are and having a HUD with an arrow representing exactly where you are and where you are facing. In one scenario you're told where you are, the other you still have to figure it out for yourself.
But you need to be right, so I digress, you are absolutely 100% right.

/loc is not required. I've never become proficient with the location system and I get around quite nicely. Basically they removed 2 wholly unnecessary steps (discerning /loc, cross referencing with external map) with the addition of the in game map. That's it. It basically saves time and a small (even minute) amount of effort.. aka people spend more time in game, playing, rather than treating it as a chore or a project they must do research on before undertaking. To say removing that this made the game effectively more challenging is just silly.
