Hello! Just bought a 2012 Outback.

On our 2005 Outback, the computer displayed 'elapsed time'; same with the 2012 Impreza the dealership loaned us.

No such luck on our Outback; the display is black, when elapsed time WOULD be selected.

Any way to bring back this useful feature? Any theories why Subaru would do EXTRA WORK to REMOVE such a feature?

Your Owners Manual should indicate whether or not the elapsed time is one of the displays. If it is, then best advice is probably to take it back to the dealer.

The owner's manual shows that elapsed time had been replaced by "blank".

I'm trying to understand Subaru's motivation for removing this useful feature from one model (Outback), and leave it in another (Impreza).

It's a forehead-slappingly bad move, in my opinion.
