I agree...I just think stock Android is too plain. It lacks features...like a legible battery meter for one lol.
App badge notifications. But i do like the concept of pure Android. But Google needs to take the bull by horns and add more features. It seems like they don't want to actively compete with their OEM partners and the result is a watered down stock Android. Even stock Android efforts like CyanogenMod add more features to the very stock undertones of their OS.
Hate it in the battery icon.....you can't even see itewww i hate the way Samsung puts the battery meter, its huge right next to the battery. Takes up too much space. I like the way my Pixel shows it, inside the battery.
so it is not a design decision that will ruin aesthetics....They are adding it in Android O....
I will flash the Android O preview and later and show you

Honestly, looking at the two pics... I can easily see the battery level on the Pixel. The Samsung... for such a 6.2" screen... looks sooo small.
The Pixel screen shot was enlarged so you could see it. Here is a side by side....
