Sure, but ... Certain lenses don't transmit certain information to the camera for recording. I'm guessing that a number of people won't fire up their computer just to double check their exposure parameter, or they may not have that information handy in the field when they want to check how they photographed a similar scene previously. An old fashioned notebook is a good, simple source for referencing ... notes. Batteries not needed.
My point, really, is that the information could always be recorded, and that having the camera do it for you is not the panacea that some think it may be. Certainly not for everyone. But, as ERN said, in camera info does provide an extra tool with potential.
