I admit I don't get bothered by it really, but I can certainly understand the preference, and it adds visual interest. The placement is kind of interesting, as Cherry MX switches (and some Alps) are made accommodate an LED threaded through the switch housing. This was specifically for on-key indicator lamps, but it evolved over time to our current situation with per-key LED lighting.
