>The feature is under Promotions, a section already laden with junk for most people.

I don't know... I don't know how Google decides mail goes into the Promotions tab, but I have no junk in there. The things that went into my Promotions tab were:

-My auto insurance policy

-A notice from my vet saying my cats were due for vaccinations.

-Some (but not all) emails from my college's Alumni association (which probably would be considered promotional)

-Emails telling me my phone bill was due.

-Email confirming a car rental.

-Emails telling me that my auto loan payment was due.

-Email from Walgreens telling me that I have a prescription that was due for refill, and to reply to that email to automatically refill that prescription.

-Some emails that sites send after you create an account with them.

All these are important for me, but I wouldn't consider any of them promotional material. I don't sign up for promotions.

I went and disabled these silly tabs...
