Quite the opposite, in fact. If the code already exists to show this missing data then it should be trivial to patch this package and actually fix it properly.

It is a very poor excuse to tell people to assemble the information that they may need from multiple sources because of essentially trivial deficiencies in one source.

The "System info" doesn't even tell you the kernel or Gnome versions that are running, both important items when a novice user is asked to provide info about their system when asking for help, so that cannot be considered as any replacement for the more information provided by the System Monitor package.
