My old YX600 Radian also had self-canceling and they are more a nuisance than a help, for example, when lane-splitting and you want the signal to remain on. (But eventually I just started to lane-split without using the signal light anyway because it may actually work against me in giving out the wrong message to the other road users.)
Or sitting at a traffic light waiting to turn and the wait is longer than the signal light stays on, then it goes off by itself and that could send out the wrong message to other road users of your intentions...
