I, too, don't really understand the purpose. It wouldn't bother me if those circles were there, but I don't know what good it would do me.
Most receipts are easy - the name of the store is all we need to know what category that spending falls into. Grocery receipts we generally have to look at items and divide.
This sort of information would make that a whole lot easier.
How is it useful to know what percentage of spending went in each category in a single grocery trip? You can't combine that data with the same data from other grocery trips, and the only way I can think that knowing what percentage of spending went into what category is if it's done broadly, such as for all shopping in a given week or month.
