Because it makes every battle easy to calc. Knowing exactly what you can gain at what price before you go into any battle has made PA completly predictable. Removing the roid info from the sector scan and only leaving a total roidscount just makes the game a bit less predicatable and less boring !!

You can still select your targets based on their approximate ratio by looking at their ships. Someone with C heavy ships is bound to have a good C ratio. So a bit of intelligence will help you in still making a targetselection. But what you will not know even when looking at his fleet is how much initiated roids you are able to get. At certain attacks you might be lucky and at some attacks you might get a poor reward.
