Many cameras have that light, and at those times when you need it most, like shooting in a darkened area, you want to turn it off. The idea is that it helps the camera to focus, but you don't want the light shining so obviously. Turning off the focus-assist will probably hurt the focus. It's a catch 22.
I found that if you set the camera on 'sport' mode the light goes off and the focus is effected that much. I guess I'll keep it :D
