I will be more than happy to debate enthusiastically my position on these... besides mucking up a fantastic pistol, these two features actually promote poor gun handling practices. Yes, I said it, and I believe it to my core.

I share your sentiments in the MK III series. ( Enough so that I keep MK 1, II and IV's but no III''s.) In fairness though, the best thing about the MK III IMHO was that it added the drill and tap /rail feature across all variants. This is petty useful to those many folks wanting to add optics.
Oddly, the MKIV, while still drilled and tapped, omitted the inclusion of the rail so it must now be purchased separately.
