You don't seem to be disagreeing with the main points of the post you've quoted. Aside from that, yeah, the percentage display may be the preference for many people, for any number of reasons, and for those people it feels just as 'natural' and 'obvious' as my preferences feel to me. I welcome the percentage display as an option.
