I agree app indicators are a very strange concept, but the alternative is an app using an extension to place itself in the quicksettings or similar.

Like: Syncthing, Nextcloud, VPN apps. How would they display their small info and sync status?

Notifications, you can have the app fire a notification when it's synced or disconnects for example. Gnome is working on better notifications right now. Tablets, chromebooks, cell phones... have been doing fine without appindicators; people just have a hard time changing their habits.

Notifications are annoying and should only be used for really important things.

[–] imecth@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

Notifications are more effective at displaying a change of status than a tiny icon turning red. What's important to someone is gonna vary on a case by case basis, sometimes getting an email is an urgent notification, you can easily turn off the ones you don't care for or go into DND mode.

On Android apps abuse the persistant notification for just that, while app indicators or a specific area to place those would be way better.

I mostly mute the notifications as they are so annoying, but it is very bad to not have them too.
