It would be helpful to have a function (or UI button / query param) to omit common labels from the returned results.
An expression often evaluates to many time series with common labels. Sometimes, it's the difference between label sets that reveals information, e.g., if a series is labeled with a software version. The "version" label could easily be lost in the noise from shared labels given you run something like
request_latency_ms{app="foo"}and notsum(request_latency_ms{app="foo"}) by (version).
