Joseph,

As Birkir stated, this is very useful rather than unuseful. When it tells you that there are no H3 on the page, it means that a higher level such as H1 or H2 proceed this H3.

This helps a visually impaired user to map out the nested headings in his or her mind like a sighted user sees it. I was frustrated at first with this change, but I know like it. In fact, it helps me tremendously if I am assessing a page.
