In my humble opinion, the system tray is a crutch anyway. But sadly a needed crutch for "legacy" support.
What does an application need with a tiny icon persistent on screen? Aren't notifications enough to notify the user that something has happened? Why can't it just run in background, and when the user needs it open it up from the taskbar/dock?
Easy access to a few key functions is nice, IMO. Though helping someone on their computer and seeing half the taskbar occupied with two dozen system tray icons makes me vomit just a little, so I get it.
Oh no, I entirely agree with the system tray being a leftover from an older era. The Control Center is actually super elegant. But it doesn't do to come up with a nicer, more elegant solution while telling all legacy support to go &*&$ itself in the same breath because it's no longer your problem.
That's some Apple bollocks, and if I wanted to deal with Apple's shit I'd get a Mac.
