Most of the people pissing over it have never seen the track or even autox. They keep this magic number in their head of 190 as the guideline since that's how cars were built back in the days. With stricter emission, better oil and materials, car engines are running hotter and hotter in order to meet it. Most cars' operating temperature are in the low 200 range as they are more efficient at that temperature. If the gauge was never put in the car, half the people wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between 200F and 250F. Did it bother me at first? Sure. Yet I have gotten over it, I barely look at the gauge at this point.
