No impact on tone of course. It's just one of the main things I dislike on strat/tele both aesthetically as well as for feel.
Has it, or would it, put me off buying because of that absolutely not.
people just used to take them off and leave them in the case
Early 80s japanese fenders were pretty good in recreating the tadeo taper, IMHO.
My (now gone) August 1964 strat surely had this feature. My now gone as well 63 custom unfortunately didn't, although I regret selling it, it annoyed me to the point that I almost had it reshaped.

If the neck's shallow at the nut end then a "step" like that SVL makes sense, although it does look too hard-edged.
My Fenders all have pretty fat necks so the neck to headstock transitions have been done quite nicely, as far as I'm concerned.
