An interesting thing to note about how thermals are right now is that they are actually worse than useless, you are actually at a disadvantage by wearing them due to increased sensitivity to flashes. Unless that was removed with the nerf.
With buffing thermals, they don't have to be buffed back into god-tier usefulness. Why not just keep their current function, but give them the same resistance to flashes that sunglasses have? This means that they would, at least, actually be used. Just a pair of fancy sunglasses to be reserved for use by the highest ranking person on the station and a questionable fellow in a trench-coat.
