I wanted this information for two reasons.  I'll give examples:

At some time, the file size was reduced to zero. I don't know when or 
why, but it happened.  Knowing the file size for a given backup would 
be useful here.

I want to confirm that the backups are going as expected.  Show me 
when this file was backed up.  I know it's a database that grows 
daily.  If the file sizes are incrementing, then I know all is well.

The existing output shows the number of jobbytes and jobfiles.  I 
think file size would be more useful to me than either of those two 
values.  I'm also not sure why those two values might be useful to 
anyone considering a restore.

Also, I think that output should be sorted by client, starttime desc. 
 At present, it's by jobid desc I think.
