Perhaps, since so much booking activity is online, there's an opportunity to oblige SLF such as myself to be obliged to answer a couple of the most basic questions relating to the procedures in the event of an emergency would not take much time.
Additionally, if boarding cards can feature a seat number they can equally indicate the nearest emergency exit to that seat (given that it's available in the event).
Yes, it's spoonfeeding, but the issue of orderly evacuations seems to be a problem.
