An icon in the statusbar is not a prominent exposing of the feature. It used to
have a prominent place in the toolbar until i removed it in 4.4.

The users who regularly used it in the toolbar (i remember some LO dev
mentioned they did) would likely disagree on how rarely it is used. Not sure
how a toggle icon button in the statusbar is considered, when users want to add
capslock status in the statusbar (<a class="bz_bug_link
