Yeah, I agree. Shit LBS wheel truing jobs were the reason I decided to learn how to true and build wheels myself.
At least with bladed spokes you can see the twist so there shouldn't be any guesswork. But even on normal round spokes you can make a little "flag" using masking tape so you can see when they're twisting and how much.
