FEWER FEATURES IN LATER MODELS?

Have had two 2004 9-5 wagon loaners in the last two weeks (long story, happy ending). Noticed:
1) SID display degraded from my 1999, which displays date PLUS selected function. Current model only displays one function, period, with date one of the possible functions.
2) Radio no longer has Weather Band. And, where my 1999 conveniently combined selection of the radio function with band selection in one button, you're now forced to use two buttons (band selection takes over the old Weather Band position)--seems more inconvenient to me.
3) No switch to turn fog lights off and on?
Hmmmm. . . I know the new models have numbers of new features, but why degrade some of the old features? Or maybe I'm missing something?
Happy Saabing . . .
