I want them there, so that's more than enough reason why they need to be there on my systems. No one forces you to have them on your system.
And this has nothing to do with branding nor is it useless noise, because the icon provides valuable information to me. I don't want to have to use `http://localhost:8384/ http://localhost:8384/` or `journalctl` every time I want to know:
* Are there some issues which prevent syncing?
* Is a sync in progress (which means I might not want to suspend/poweroff my machine just now)?
* Is syncing paused or idle?
By your logic we should also get rid of status elements like the clock, network, volume, ... because all those information can be monitored and configured with in their respective applications and system settings.
