The percentage of people, who even worry about things like automatic
headlights, is so small, that GM doesn't really think it is necessary to
cater to them. It's like with any other feature, only if significant
numbers of purchases depend on it being present or not present, a company
will provide/eliminate the feature.

Also, there are a whole bunch of ECM/BCM modification services out there
that can program your ECM/BCM almost any way you like. Erasing a trigger
for the SES light is one of their easiest exercises.
