I use (or would like to be able to use) the --stat output to select with 
the mouse and paste into something like
   emacsclient -n <pathname>
This would be harder with the grouping, because I'd have to select two 
parts and paste two times and type a slash. So for me this would be a minus.

Also, I'm not sure about grouping if there's more than one group. The 
graph wouldn't be as readable. But if there's only one group, i.e. if 
all filenames have a common prefix ending in a slash, like in your 
example, this could be useful.
