Not sure what you mean here - both MacOS and Windows have icons in the system tray for background applications and it's been that way since before Android was a thing.

Windows does hide excessive icons, which MacOS doesn't do - it's a great way to hide running the pre-installed Skype and Teams at the same time :laugh:

Normally I'm a Mac/Linux user, but last time I tried Windows it hid all the icons by default. They used to show them in older versions but they do not anymore, probably because everyone including the OS vendor itself uses it as a dumping ground for product tie-ins and clutter like that.
