That is it and all you need to know!!
Are you talking about IAS or TAS? If you mean TAS I'm absolutly with you.

If it does not change with altitude or is a simple linear then for practical pilotage it is simpified to get the pilot in the ballpark!

Again, very simple concept that does not require in depth discussion.
Of course it's an pratical approximation. In a theoretical discussion there is no direct relation between IAS and climb rate.
