Any time I see a post with this title in any forum, I always have the nearly irresistable urge to automatically respond YES, but with time and money, medical science will be able to give your condition a name.
Given a more explicit title to work with... say, "Is it just me, or is Michael Jackson peculiar?"... my instinct is to respond, "No, I believe that's a false dilemma. It's entirely possible you can both be peculiar."
In this case, though, I'll be more serious-minded.
Out of the nine motorcycles I've owned (and unknown number of others I've ridden), none have ever had a fuel gauge! So, I don't feel I'm being deprived of anything. Also, as a result of not having one, I've learned to keep an eye on the odometer and know when to expect the need to refuel. The warning light works fine too on the more recent ones, so lack of another dial to watch is simply a fact of life to me.
Furthermore, on fuel-injected, catalytic-converter models, there's probably also an engineering decision involved. You don't want people to start trusting a dial enough to try and squeeze the last drop out of the tank, when the consequence of guessing wrong is the failure of an important emission control component. Manufacturers do have to worry about that sort of thing, as they are legally required to make sure the emission system lasts a certain amount of time and/or distance.
