Some of the best sounding commercials we ever did, were done during a time
when our production guru started asking if he could watch the levels on a
scope so I rigged one on the output of the production audio board. Then he
got the itch to goto Alaska & no one else seemed to care, despite my stated
willingness to teach them. Now, we are all digital, and the levels are all
over the map. Sucks.

Please read again what I wrote above. All the examples you mention
(and I agree with what you write about those) fall in the category
'technical purposes, when doing maintanance and testing'.
Plus they are about testing and measuring analog equipment, while
the context of this thread is about the GUI for audio plugins.
Yes a good scope is an essential instrument when developing and
testing equipment that is analog or has some analog parts, e.g.
AD and DA converters. But it is useless for an engineer making a
recording or doing a mix.

I beg to disagree with the premise that the waveform is useless. Does point #1 mean we basically may want
visualization that
expresses only a few properties of a certain waveform?
Yes. Waveforms displays are completely useless for normal
audio engineering. You may need them for technical purposes,
when doing maintenance or testing. But there it ends. Ciao,
