Just because you have never personally seen a bug occur doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

This very article is about how Tailscale frequently gets reports of them being hidden.

And I personally have had the icons hidden. My work laptop has a lot of stuff running on it (much of it is mandatory: VPN, custom company processes, Google Drive, etc) and combined with my personal preferred programs (f.lux, etc) it occasionally hits the limit and goes under the notch.

Did we read the same article? It literally drove them to create a new application.

This is the fairly standard Apple defensework where "it just works, but if it doesn't work it's probably not a real problem" despite plenty of evidence to the contrary.

"nor have I known anyone who ran into that problem"

Why on earth would people tell you that?

It only takes like 6 extra apps for items to start being hidden, it's really not that rare of an occurrence.

"I don't have any experience with that problem, it follows that no-one has that problem".
