If some people don't wanna look at it and always just log in and enjoy things, that's what they want. If they feel bad by looking at their rank and seeing they're in the Tin League, I respect that, in the past I've felt that too.
And if some wanna see their win/losses recorded forever, seeing how they improved in the eyes of the matchmaker over their playtime (going from the lower ratings to the higher ones), seeing how much they've improved and knowing when they've reached their top shape and stagnated - that could be their choice too.
Toggleable options like that would probably not hurt, and not demand a ton of extra work (they can reuse some SC2 stuff like the League system and even graphics for each League). Don't think there's any downside to it.
Some players felt the Starcraft 2 approach to ranking was really casual. Splitting a global ranking into "Leagues" (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Gold, Master) -> and then "Divisions" (which are basically just smaller groups of 100 players where you'd be ranked and get the feel of progression). While I don't love that idea for a competitive RTS, I feel it would've worked grat on D3.
I personally don't mind if I don't see any specific rank/matchmaking rating, but anything close to that would be great (like the SC2 Leagues) - at least to get the "feeling" that I'm actually improving, because tracking that by yourself can be really hard at times.
I do understand that this all is a matter of personal preference though.

And if they don't want to piss casual gamers who don't want that, just add a toggle that changes whether or not others can see it. Problem solved.
.. we could choose
