Drive activity lights are also useful especially with an SSD, but they seem to be gone from most if not all laptops these days. Part of me wonders if that was a deliberate decision to hide activity which users may not want.

Possibly. My first 386-DX40 had activity lights and I tried out a CompuServ disk and saw my HD activity going nuts so I killed the power and trashed the CD.
There are programs that can show a virtual LED for HD and Network activity so all is not lost.
