As title shows, it is just a quality of life improvement, for new(ish?) players.
Whenever they place a quality module into a machine, then the intention is to make higher quality items, but not showing the 0 or (negative percentages with the cap), makes it harder to see, that something is wrong.

Even better, also turn that number red.

Speaking of, how come negative quality (from, for instance, speed modules) is not accepted as a final total quality malus on machines ?
(Not only recycler, but that too.)
It could be written in red to help with player mistakes.

Would that make the endgame with speed beacons too complicated, or actually more interesting ?

P.S.: Oh, another solution if this becomes problematic : allow quality in beacons, but only to counteract negative quality : only to raise it up to +0% ?
No, wait, instead make it blue like the colour of a speed module if remaining quality is still larger than +0%.
(It's fortunate that a quality module is — at least partially — white, heh.)
