Given that as rogue applications draining power can have such a
damaging effect on the usefulness of the device, it might be worth
reconsidering keeping all that info hidden away in a settings menu.

Not to say that designing an interface that you could expand as more
detailed battery information became available with future developments
would be trivial, but if every app developer that was doing something
that might be risky could monitor this and have a way to return it with
user bug reports to improve their apps, or if there were seventy gazillion
"monitor the battery use by apps over time and make a nice report" apps
it might be easier for users and developers to not end up with rogue
battery draining app xyz on their device causing damage to their user
experience.
