Having owned a Ruger P345 with the exact same style of LCI, I for one can claim that I do not care for this style.
Aside from aesthetics, which I will ignore for the moment (a-hem ugly stick a-hem), practically speaking Ruger has a much simpler solution: the window/port on their LCP; and yes I do realize that this is only a visual indicator not a tactile one, but if I can't see into that port, it is probably too dark to be shooting or gun handling. (And really one should know if they have a loaded gun before going into any dark alley... sarcasm, I hope.) A quick press check works just fine too.
I personally dislike them so much that I no longer have any Rugers with the "pop-up" style LCI; including MKIII .22s.
The "pop-up" LCI does catch going into some styles of holsters. It did start "cutting" into a Galco Yaqui Slide holster that I was using with my P345.
YMMV

I just dont see the issue. An LCI will not hinder you in any way of drawing the gun..thats what matters in my book. If they bug the owner that much, take it off and mill it.
