GNOME and AppIndicator/system tray - eviltoast

What’s the reasoning behind not having a “system tray” in GNOME? You need to install an extension for that, and that is a weird process for newcomers/beginners.

But my question is why? Does GNOME really think you don’t need one? Why don’t they include it?

    Nice read. I’d add that there’s also no mobile or tablet counterpart which becomes more and more important
