It won't be missed.
It especially sucks when the band sounded like they were doing something interesting before the fade-out. The ending to the song "Demon Cleaner" by Kyuss is midway through an amazing solo when the fade-out occurs.

Listen to the original recording of "How Could I" by Cynic - it fades just as an absolute shredfest gets going.
Then listen to the remaster from 2008(?) - the fade is removed, revealing that actually the band just kept on going until they gradually gave up one by one...
Another musical pet peeve of mine is when, usually during the intro, a song doubles the number of bars for a sequence, basically repeating itself for no good reason.
My ear is ready for the song to kick in, but at that moment it just repeats the previous 8 bars. Every time I think “really, we need to do this 8 more times? Can’t we just get on with it?”
It’s like the musical equivalent of waiting in line.
