Everyone has their technique. I use highlighting to emphasize things to which I want to draw attention. I agree that it needs to be added to M+.
I'm not saying highlight shouldn't be included. It should and I believe it will be coming.
As far as the things you listed (can't speak to ETP) but step climbs are detailed on page one of flight prep. And NOTAMs can be designated with levels of importance which is effectively highlighting.
I do understand that highlighting is key in the current product because nothing is filtered out or emphasized. And I know people have gotten used to going through and highlighting pretty much everything as a method of reviewing. I was just trying to see why people were highlighting to see if it was buried in the app and whether it can be pulled out for easier use. For example, the dashboard is hot garbage that should be a summary of literally everything you would need to know but it currently isn't.
