You seem to misunderstand the usecase.
If you send me a transaction, both of use are using our phones, then I need=
=20
to be able to have immediate feedback on the transaction being broadcast on=
=20
the network.
This is not about zero-conf, this is simple seeing what is happening while=
=20
it is happening.

Additionally, when the transaction that is meant for my wallet is broadcast=
,=20
I want my SPV wallet to parse and check the actual transaction.
It is not just to see that *something* was actually send, but also to be=20
able to see how much is being paid to me. Maybe If the transaction is marke=
d=20
as RBF-able, etc.

Really basic usability: provide information to your users when you can,=20
should they want to, and by default on.
