I agree; the old view bar conflated data type and data value. It could cause confusion.
The new one avoids that, with the unfortunate side effect that being smacked in the face with strangely-floating lozenges and (yes) chartjunk ALSO causes confusion.
This is exactly the kind of thing that a human-factors designer is good at fixing.
