This has become two different topics it would seem, the first being the LSD as an option, which like everyone else has alluded to it's a money issue. Overall, having LSD is a nice feature that can contribute to a slightly higher resale value when you do sell it, but it's not necessary if that's what you choose.
The second part is the "trail rating" if you go to the Jeep website they actually detail how a vehicle attains the badge and I can guarantee having or not having LSD makes as much of a difference as having the Alpine sound system in it or not. The LSD is a perk just like locking differentials in a Rubicon are a perk, you can still enjoy going offroad without them, but you may just be limited in where you go is all.
In my previous JKU I ordered it with the LSD but when I went to 37's and 4.88's I swapped it out for an OX locker because it was the more logical direction for me to go as I was preparing to run the Rubicon. BTW I used my locker all of two times when we went which means I ran open, 90% of the trail.
