I think so, yes. In some situations, like fast moving concerts with lots of variable lighting, you don't always have time to adjust exposure based on Exposure Simulation. By the time you think "the exposure on then singer is too dark" and try to adjust some setting to compensate, you have lost the shot. Being able to have the metering instantly tied to the focus point, I think would be a great option to have. It's just something I'd like to have available as an option. Since the 1DX Miii already has this, it's obviously possible.

I suspect that there’s a reason that only 1-series cameras have this. At the least, it’s a “marketing differentiator.”
