Yes, I agree that optimal view out the windshield is of the utmost importance,
but I found, at least for the lenses I was using, that the maximum instrument visibility occurred at about 45º. I suppose this is the best compromise orientation for various outdoor light situations. To me this isn't good for maintaining precise control of, to begin with, the steering wheel because there will be inevitable misalignment of one's arms. Further, there's a slight delay in processing external visual information due to tilted horizontals and verticals. Apparently the displays are polarized, so I think it would be a good idea for manufacturers to use light sources that aren't. Then I would wear polaroids without hesitation.
