You're making an assumption that all vehicles make this possible for the driver, or that all situations involving the vehicle do likewise. They do not.
Emphasizing proper posture, and proper mirror adjustment would be more to the point.

And, as in my post above, there are "mirror solutions" for some vehicles which make head-turning a stupid choice, even when all sight lines are "clear".

Mirror LEDs are a gimmick. In this I would agree with you. Same for turn signals in mirrors. As neither are required eqipment -- thus only installed on a few cars -- their viability is suspect from several directions.
