> I do wonder if there is another way to provide these assurances and comfort without having to put electronics in the thing - it feels like all of this could be solved just with good design in the normal standalone version (particularly as everyone has been practicing on lateral flows for the last few years!).

There is none, because the "assurances" are there to explain why is the device needed. The whole point of them is to explain to you that you might be confused by non-electronic test and therefore you need to buy this device instead.

Otherwise said, it is not about reassuring you nor about showing you how to read the test. It is meant to make you doubt your ability to read the traditional test correctly.
