I don't get why it would be a bonus, though. Not everyone buys their books from Amazon in either case, so it would only make those appear more special with their own notation, but this wouldn't clear up reviews.
Most pre-publication reviews that are legit are from Netgalley, publishers or the authors directly, Amazon doesn't do ARC's, so these reviews would always miss this label if that feature existed.
