I understand why one may need wide angle ones to eliminate blind spots, but hard to imagine what is objectively enhanced by such mirrors as these.

Cuz they look coool. My brother put some sequential ones in his mirrors. Plus gives it that "premium" look too. I have tons of turn signals. My smoked side markers, mirrors, headlights (after market have them built in) and the stock FR-S ones, plus the rear tails.
My LED arrow ones are pretty bright. Drove my brother and nephew when I first put them in and they said oh wow that's pretty cool. Even more so when I mentioned I put them in myself.
I have no problem driving with them even at night. Though, based on my experience I've drove/riden with mirrors smaller (Motorcycle, and more recently my brother's G35 coupe) so these mirrors on the FRS are huge and great to me.

For that reason, I'm dumping these ones and getting the clear convex with the heat and signal light option, only because clear with no signal light option is not available as far as I could determine. I will not be hooking up the signal light, and just have to hope that the arrows in the glass are minimally visible. I've had them on order for a month, and Subiespeed says another month yet.

I've had no issues with mine. I have the dealership tint and the blue hue polarized mirror. I originally wanted the clear convex but the polarized was the only ones around/cheaper I believe. You can split the mirror apart and take the internals out if it really bothers you. That's how I put arrows in mine since I ordered the mirrors only with no mounting bracket.
Overall, the polarized grew on me and I haven't seen any other car (twin or not) with them around my area.
