But, how much less functional? It is easy to try and stigmatize Sony for making that decision, but is the end result really going to be that bad? Honestly, do me a favor and tell me how much you think this is going to impact gameplay. I don't claim I want a less functional product (I pretty much know I will never own a PSP), but it's a clever, but deceptive arguing trick to claim that I want a less functional product. If function could be graded on a scale from 1-100 (in our imagination), and the function of the "flawed" model was 92.9, and the ideal perfect model was 93, then your argument would make little sense. A negligible tradeoff in function is, well, negligible. A rounding error.

So, again, how much do you think this is going to affect gameplay? I doubt very much at all.

Basically, it's considered major not because Sony knows about it, but is not willing to do anything to rectify the problem right now, under the assumed basis that their product is perfect because it was designed with the flaw in mind.
I think that assumes that Sony needs to do something about it. As long as they're going to let you return defective models, who really cares?
