An unobtrusive indication of AOA can be made available in a DU through an OPC change by simply enabling the appropriate pins. The data is already in the system.

It certainly does not have to be used in any phase of air transport flying...until it becomes useful information. Now when could that be?

Don't look at it if it annoys you. You can take your mind off of it by concentrating on the stick shaker.

Don't buy it if you're absolutely set against it. This will prove your point.

Don't use it if someone buys it for you and you're really miffed with their paternalistic approach to your well being.

BUSS is a 'pig in lipstick'.

What are the chances that pilot who is unable to grasp the meaning of increasing attitude and altitude indications, therefore being unaware he's pushing aeroplane up where it just can't fly and finally displays paradoxical and provenly lethal reaction to stall warning, would pay heed to AoA gauge?
How about the guy that showed up a little late for the 'dance'?

(I would have sworn you need TAS for wind info on the ND.)
